The Stone Garden
2022
Foam, steel, sand, paint
Created Collaboratively
Any hiker will be familiar with the form of a tower of stacked rocks known as a cairn. We ran with this idea, making these forms more playful by evoking the image of stacked and spilling tea sets inspired by the neighboring Alice in Wonderland sculptures.
Design and Build 2022: Curiosities
On View July 27 – December 15, 2022
Eight emerging artist interns came together over the summer, through our annual Design and Build Summer Internship Program, to collaboratively create several unique, site-specific installations for MOA’s Marjorie Park in only 8 weeks! Emerging artists worked under the direction of our 2022 Artist Fellow, Scottie Burgess, and Resource Artist, Walter Ware, with additional support from Reece Bailey.
The theme provided to the artists in 2022 was “curiosities.” Join us for the opening reception to see these unique installations throughout Marjorie Park.
Emerging Artists:
Lina Halim
Tianyue (Sandra) He
Erin Kaden
Elaine Mansure
Catie Rogan

The creation of our 2022 projects were generously supported through a facilities partnership with the University of Colorado Denver, College of Arts and Media and Metropolitan State University of Denver. Artworks were created within the sculpture fabrication studios on Auraria campus.
