Tweak 360

One of the project goals was to create an artwork that expressed the energy and vitality of Jordan Skate Park and the people who use it. Ellison’s colorful sculpture, which is about 30 feet high, is also a “marker” for the location of the skateboard facility, providing optimum visibility from the street and the park. In Ellison’s project overview he stated of the sculpture, “It is designed to be a positive, intriguing, and fun work tailored specifically for the youth who encounter it and yet provide imagery which is general enough to appeal to all members of the neighborhood.”
