Rail Trail Wayfinding Signs.
Thanks to this new sculpture, Downtown Chamblee is adding more color and vibrancy! The Color Field Sculpture sits at the corner of Peachtree Road and American Way. Created by artist Shelley Parriott, it was originally purchased in October 2023 by the Public Arts Commission, also known as PAC, which gets its funding through a percentage of Chamblee Hotel/Motel fees.
"The site-specific installations are composed of individual units of perforated heavy-gauge industrial aluminum, said artist Shelley Parriott. "They are structurally sound although they appear illusory. Viewers actually become participants as they walk around the sculpture’s transparent overlapping layers. Moving through time and space they experience the installation from the inside looking out, or the outside looking in. They are connected to each other, to the art, to fields of color, and to nature as the environment is seen through the perforations.”
We hope you enjoy these pops of color and recommend taking a selfie with the sculpture at night! For more information about the Color Field sculpture, visit https://www.colorfieldsculpture.com/about
