Overview

Woven Culture is a composition that draws inspiration from the surrounding community and its desert landscape. The project is located on Carolina Bridge and is made out of cut and bent steel, that is painted with vibrant, contemporary colors that complement the El Paso sky. The layering of different patterns gives a sense of motion throughout the sculpture. The artwork is at the center part of the bridge, where it covers a span of 1,280 sq. ft. on each side of the bridge.
