About This Piece

The artist took as inspiration for the piece industries that were instrumental in the establishment and development of early lower downtown Denver. He chose the wheel and segments thereof as the dominant shape in the design because of its relation to railroading in particular and mining machinery in general. One wheel segment is of a belt driven type found in many abandoned mills in the mountains to the west. The antler was chosen for its natural beauty, and because it relates to Native Americans and early white hunters. Finally, the artist chose the sugar beet. It is surely important to Denver and its later candy factories and feed lots. And its leaves provide a very apt natural shape to offset the antlers.
