Ovation is as a site-specific sculpture designed to enhance the visitor’s experience at Wolf Creek Amphitheater. Its lighted sculptural forms abstractly represent two concert-goers with their arms raised in excitement and applause, standing side by side. The circular ring elements inscribed in the diamond-shaped concrete base symbolize Wolf Creek’s proud history as a 1996 Summer Olympic Games venue. Like the amphitheater, the sculpture is designed to have different presences at various times of the day. The exterior surface of the sculpture is illuminated at night with LED lights that change color continuously and create light patterns on its textured surfaces which add to the festive atmosphere of evening performances. The tall, stainless steel “V-shapes” point skyward, and at night internally lit with beams of light projecting upwards into the night's sky.
