Public art at Redmond Downtown park
Around 30 raindrop stickers will be stuck on the ground and also at the side of the long bench. Each droplet is sized between 10 to 15 inches and with various shapes. The stickers will be made of waterproof, non-slip, reflective material. Reflective stickers illuminate at night and glow brighter when a flashlight is drawn closer. Each raindrop shaped sticker will have various images filled with bright colors and chromatic graduation employed from my “Raindrop” paintings. Visitors will be able to enjoy colorful raindrops in the open area. Through the Redmond Light project, I hope it can be a celebration of diverse cultures and a creation of meaningful and playful space to the Redmond community.
