The installation will consist of four, 6-foot-tall limestone sculptures by Denver artist Madeline Wiener.
Although the title has not been finalized, the artist is leaning towards “Campbell Harvest” for the piece. The 4-foot-tall bases are currently in place awaiting the 6-foot Wiener creations. In all, the pieces will be 10 feet tall once the installation is complete.

“I arrive on (June) 21st and we install on the 22nd,” Wiener says.
She has been carving stone since 1971 and in 1992 began public art projects that focus on engaging the viewer. Many of her works can be viewed on the website that bears her name.
