Denver Botanic Gardens — 2014
Photography by Jamaica Jones
Sculpture by Dale Chihuly. Image documents a temporary installation.
 
Tall, translucent glass spires rise upward against a muted sky, their twisted surfaces refracting light and color from the surrounding garden. The forms feel both fragile and resolute—simultaneously growing and dissolving into their environment.
 
Photographed at the Denver Botanic Gardens, this image highlights Prairie Earth’s ongoing exploration of light, material, and verticality. Here, glass behaves almost like plant life—stretching, reaching, and responding to atmosphere rather than asserting dominance.
 
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.
