PUBLIC ART COMMISSIONS EXECUTED BY THE LAZZARI + EVANS DESIGN TEAM:
Civic Center Plaza, by City Hall, in Palmdale, CA
Installation 2018
A permanent public art installation celebrates the movement of the sun and the beauty of the area’s desert wildflowers.
A 20-foot tall sculpture set in a concrete base. That sculpture consists of 5 large cut-out aluminum panels painted all over with familiar wildflower blooms to the area, with coreopsis, lupine, desert mallow, paintbrush plants and Joshua tree flowers.
The concrete base is etched with designs that show the direction of the sunrise and sunset on the longest day of the year, the shortest day, and the equinox. The logo of the City of Palmdale is etched opposite of the sun, reinforcing the association of the city with its natural environment.
