Rachel Slick, Tucson Totems, 2009.
A series of hand-cut, painted steel symbols by artist Rachel Slick come together to form a series of whimsical poles in the roadway. The symbols are inspired by desert flora and fauna and by the activities of community members such as walking, biking, and jogging, creating beautiful gardens, and nurturing children, plants and animals.
