Possibility
Possibility | 4,000 Cottonwood Sticks | 120 × 120 × 120 in (10 x 10 x 10 ft)
Possibility is an artwork that explores the prospect of a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Clowes’s work incorporates ideas about interconnection and juxtaposition, revealing the hope and tension inherent in equilibrium. Referencing schools of fish, Clowes suspends local Cottonwood sticks into a collective body of seemingly effortless interrelationships. This installation is a metaphor for ecological alliances and the boundlessness of possibility.
The Making of ‘Possibility’
Go behind the scenes of the creation and installation of Possibility, a 10-foot suspended spherical sculpture by artist Theresa Clowes. From the gathering and process of 4,000 individual cottonwood sticks to the complex suspension within a modern Denver architectural lobby, this film captures the labor, materiality, and vision required to bring this permanent public work to life.
