7-foot sphere evokes clarity, transparency for north Texas police facility
A 7-foot, mirror-finish stainless steel sphere at the heart of the 11-foot 8-inch tall sculpture offers “an eye catching and timeless representation and reflection of the entire Fort Worth community and the people who serve it,” according to Gordon Huether.
Huether titled this work “Vision” to evoke the ideas of clarity, transparency, awareness and reflection that are essential to effective police work today. See "Vision" here.
The concept for “Vision” utilizes a unique, nonthreatening basket that lifts the sphere from the sculpture’s base and holds it aloft. The basket is fabricated from steel plates with a blue finish which are spaced around the base of the sphere to create the illusion of buoyancy and to obscure the support structure beneath. The basket emerges from a commanding concrete base, or plinth, where the name of the Fort Worth Police Department South Patrol Division is prominently inscribed.
The artwork is also complementary to the South Patrol facility’s architecture, integrating into the gently sloping landscape of the site in a manner which fully takes advantage of its height.
