Paul T. Edwards, Susan Holman, Chris Tanz, Nanko Mas Du’ag Son (Many Color Mountain), 1994.
Two curved rows of imitation stone towers constructed by artists Paul T. Edwards, Susan Holman, and Chris Tanz each evoking the silhouette of a mountain range. Each tower is a four sided structure beveled off on top at an angle. A different color dominates each of the four sides, the color pattern repeated through each row. A single "vein" of copper meanders across the face of the towers, linking the forms visually. There is a gravel path between the rows; school children's and local residents' handprints are impressed in the interior faces of the towers, along with silhouettes of javelinas.
Address: Northwest corner of Ajo Way and Mission Road
