City Of Fort Worth: Artwork At Rockwood Golf Course To Be Dedicated Nov. 1

Press release from City of Fort Worth:

October 19, 2021

Experience the dedication of Fort Worth’s latest public art installation, Parallel Evolution by Laura Walters, during a ceremony at 9 a.m. Nov. 1 at Rockwood Golf Course’s new clubhouse, 1854 Jacksboro Highway.

The sculpture is informed by the universal golden ratio, whose principles are intrinsic to the spiral shell of fossilized ammonites found on the site and are demonstrated by the arc of a golf ball’s flight or the trajectory of a golfer’s swing, as well as the upward sweeping canopy of the mature live oak trees at the site – all elements that came together in the artist’s inspiration for the sculpture.

At approximately 20 feet tall, the exterior artwork was fabricated in stainless steel and painted a butterfield yellow, to contrast with the sky and the greens of the golf course.
