Montage 48/61 | Stampede | 2008 | Ceramic | Fort Worth Fire Station 11
Arranged from individually designed ceramic tiles, Stampede employs bold contour lines, vibrant colors, and graphic details that depict Texas longhorns. The mural alludes to an aspect of the region’s history while simultaneously suggesting progress. Installed in an area once dominated by the agriculture and livestock industry, the mural visually suggests the region’s rich history. Concurrently, it evinces the expanding municipality of Fort Worth and the concomitant civic buildings that protect the residents of the city.
About the Artist
Montage 48/61 is an artist team made up of artists Larry Enge and Charlotte Lindsey. They have been collaborationg on public art projects since 2004. Their first project was the terrazzo art floor at Dallas Executive Airport. Charlotte worked together with Carol Wilder to design for the floor. In February of 2004, we lost Carol to a drunk driver. Once construction on the building began later that year, Larry worked with Charlotte to oversee the installation of the floor.
Our combined experience affords us strong skills for all phases of the public art process, from design to fabrication to project management. Many of our previous projects have involved working with project architects and stakeholders
On each project that we undertake our goal is to develop innovative and thoughtful design within the context of the project.
