Water to Water

Water to Water

As people approach the wall, it springs to life. Sensors along the path trigger large shower heads to begin sprinkling one after the other. A small chorus of faucets also joins in. The high-tech water treatment facility, set in the desert, provides an object lesson: one from which we learn that life can flourish in these unlikely surroundings.

Impulsion

Nearly 200 artists applied for the opportunity to create iconic sculpture for the premier, nationally recognized equestrian center. Impulsion reflects Arizona artist Jeff Zischke’s desire to create a iconic sculpture that serves as a grand entry to the renovated equidome and new North Hall at WestWorld.
