In developing the public art for the Sorenson Unity Center, the artists addressed the themes of transformation, change, adaptation, growth, inclusiveness, and unity. In abstract form, the public art, in five pieces, unfolds from a simple universal shape into a butterfly suspended from the interior ceiling. Fabricated of aluminum and steel, the artists engaged form, color and density of the material to create transition from the standing sculpture outdoors through the two pieces attached to the exterior wall to the two interior pieces that float overhead as visitors enter the building.
Thanks to the Salt Lake Art Design Board, the members of the review committee, the neighbors, the architect, SLC Engineering and the Sorenson Multi-Cultural Center for their assistance on this public art project.
