Denver Botanic Gardens — 2014
Photography by Jamaica Jones
Sculpture by Dale Chihuly. Image documents a temporary installation.
 
Curving black and gold glass forms sweep low through late-season plantings, their glossy surfaces catching ambient light and reflecting the surrounding garden. The sculpture moves like a drawn line through space—part gesture, part interruption—hovering between the organic and the constructed.
 
Photographed at the Denver Botanic Gardens during Dale Chihuly’s installation, this image explores contrast: polished glass against wild growth, deliberate form set within living terrain. The piece speaks to Prairie Earth’s interest in how art inhabits landscape—how human-made objects can echo, rather than dominate, their surroundings.
 
Interventions documents moments where human-made forms enter the landscape—temporarily, deliberately, and in conversation with their surroundings. The series focuses on scale, movement, and material presence, observing how art and structure alter perception without erasing place. These works frame installations and sculptural forms as gestures shaped by light, environment, and time.
