Heiss explores: What's so special about this place?
You might not expect to come across a 9-foot, bright orange-red replica of a water tower as you go about your daily life. But, if your daily life includes a visit to a milelong park stretching through the historic and newly revitalized Clayton and Cole neighborhoods in Denver, that is exactly what you’d find.
Its unexpected nature is part of what makes the tower a conversation starter, according to Wes Heiss, who, along with his artistic collaborator Marek Walczak, created the recently installed piece. The tower is part of Markers, a four-piece public art installation commissioned by the city of Denver.
