Treehouse

Artist: Brett Wilson          Year: 2012

Having attended the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs for three years, Wilson witnessed the construction of University Village Colorado Shopping Center and anticipated the new restaurants and stores. Because of its name, its location adjacent to UCCS, and because of the services utilized by UCCS students, I would like to create a sculpture that asserts this relationship between UVC with UCCS. A sculpture that evokes a connection to UCCS as well as a sense of community that UVC provides through its services, picnic areas and organization of events like the farmer’s market.
