Heartmouth

This piece is no longer on display.

Artist statement: As a working artist and lifelong resident of Colorado Springs, Pard Morrison feels great civic pride in seeing his hometown develop an outstanding collection of public art. It’s a special thrill to showcase this freestanding sculpture, Heartmouth, as part of Art on the Streets. Pard’s work is characterized by simple geometric forms and bright colors. His tower sculptures are usually close to human-size, so they remain approachable despite their abstract nature. While it might look mechanized and artificial from a distance, up close Heartmouth reveals the human touches that mark it as a handmade object.
