SUNSHADES 2005 (shown under construction) LED light, steel, aluminum 18'-6" diameter x 20' high Ventura Community Park San Buenaventura , CA

 

Butterfly finials are at the top of each Sunshade ( Ventura is a 'pit stop' for the monarch butterfly along the Pacific coast.)

 

Four Sunshades in four colorways -red, blue, green, yellow - shade the Oasis Plaza sited between two pools in the new aquatic complex, Ventura Community Park , currently under construction. Bracelets of LED light will illuminate a cone structure under each shade, and these lights will also illuminate the undersides of the folded plate structure.
