Public Art - Fort Worth, Texas
Unfolding Time, a new permanent site-specific exhibition along Marine Creek Parkway curated by Iris Bechtol @irisbechtol , and featuring artists Leticia Bajuyo @lbajuyo and Alicia Eggert @aplaceintheuniverse , will be formally dedicated on Saturday, October 18, beginning at 10:00 a.m. at the Fort Worth Public Library – Northwest Branch. All the artists and curators will be present at the event.
The artwork was commissioned by the City of Fort Worth @cityoffortworth through the Fort Worth Public Art Program, which is managed by Arts Fort Worth @artsfortworth.
Funded by the City of Fort Worth 2008 Bond Program (Proposition 1), Unfolding Time features two statement sculptures that encourage viewers to consider time as both endless and cyclical. Situated in the roundabouts at Cromwell-Marine Creek Road and Longhorn Road, the artworks respond to their respective sites by likening them to a clock, conceptualizing time through form and language.
One Way, 2025
Steel and paint
From sketches and steel to 24 metal sculptures rising like a field in bloom, shifting as one passes by, catching sunlight and shadow. Designing, presenting, re-presenting, fabricating, welding, painting, transporting, and, finally, installing in the Texas summer heat.
None of it would’ve happened without the incredible team who cut, lifted, bolted, and welded with skill and grit. I’m so grateful to everyone who worked through heat waves, project delays, and the delicate dance of installing public art in an active traffic circle.
