Agrarian Calling

Agrarian Calling is a commission located in the city of Wheat Ridge, Colorado and pays homage to Mother Earth and the area’s agricultural roots. The sixty foot tall installation combines an iconic farm silo that used to be common to the area when farming was prolific here, along with a wind chime. The sculpture is grounded to the earth with a circular stone wall made of Colorado Buff, a local stone that was used to build many of the farm structures along the Front Range over a century ago. The center of the installation consists of fifteen pipes that are thirteen inches in diameter and thirty to forty feet long. The wind chime gives Mother Earth a voice as She wanders through the campus. Concrete and steel benches with Agrarian quotes cast into their surfaces, surround the base of the silo. The installation, along with Mother Earth, creates a contemplative space that invites people to remember a piece of Wheat Ridge’s history and ponder what farming and agriculture mean to humanity's future.

60' tall x 40' in diameter.
