The sculpture at the Highway 160/550 intersection is symbolic in the way all good art is symbolic.
Look at it in a new light to appreciate its value at this major intersection. Consider that each slab of stone represents an individual in Durango. See the unifying construction represented in the shaft that pierces each individual stone, seemingly going where all such shafts go. The sculpture does indeed represent the way Durangoans receive their highway funds and design.
And may the committee on public art recognize when no acceptable proposals are made, they can just say “no” and start the process over.
