About This Piece
“Patterns and Figures – Figures and Patterns” utilizes terrazzo and mosaic tile to create figures and patterns on the floors of A Gates. Artist Darrell Anderson has produced eight-foot squares depicting images that, when viewed from above, pop out, representing foreshortened figures of people below. The people represent the cultural diversity of travelers using Denver International Airport. Barb McKee has designed intricate patterns that make reference to the geography, history, time, ethnography and plant life that have become pictorial symbols of Colorado.
