This sculpture, by Luis Jiminez, is located in Denver, Colorado, just outside of Denver Airport. It is a great representation of Jiminez's work: it is a sculpture, made through casting, which is colored vibrantly, and made for the public to see. The casting process allows an artist like Jiminez to create multiple, identical works and to produce the works, as is the case with this one, in multiple, individual pieces, and then put the pieces together to form the final work. Interestingly enough, Jiminez was killed when part of this sculpture fell onto him and damaged an artery. He was influenced throughout his work by his Hispanic culture and themes from his cultural surroundings were prevalent in his sculptures.
