Artwork panels of “Sequence” are first experienced outside the ballpark as one walks toward the ticket booths. Pedestrians pass beside and under the panels.
From a distance, the artwork suggests tropical vegetation. Close up, one can see lines of small cutouts which portray the sequences of a pitcher throwing the ball and a batter swinging at that ball.
Inside the ballpark, “Sequence” panels can also be seen in the club level party decks. The following text is taken from the artist's cited website.
The artwork panels serve as an iconic statement, highlighting connections between the tropical setting of West Palm Beach and the joy of the game. From a distance the shadow screens create a strong visual impression of tropical splendor. As visitors are drawn closer to the artwork they begin to recognize individual figures cut out of the panels. The figures are arranged in a pixilated grid pattern, contrasting the larger organic geometry of the leaves.
