A gateway sculpture for a Light Rail station at a sports arena and amusement park.

Commissioned by the Regional Transportation District with help from the Denver Urban Renewal Authority, Pepsi Center, and Elitch Gardens, these seven whimsical figures respond to the recreational expectations of passengers using this Light Rail station. They embody the spirit of the site, joining in on “a day of play in the Platte Valley”.
Reaching 24 feet above the station platform, the steel shapes announce the arrival of passengers to this distinct urban environment. Festive, figural and fun, the “Sisters” pay homage to the attitudes and enthusiasm of people who use this Light Rail station.
