This 26′ x 8′ aluminum wall of colorful figures was commissioned by Clearwater Arts Foundation. Margo Walbolt, Cultural Affairs Manager at Clearwater Parks & Recreation worked closely with Eric Higgs Studio as the fabricator and myself as the designer to create the piece located at the entrance to Ross Norton Park in Clearwater.

As noted on Clearwater Arts Alliance website:

In May 2006, An official dedication of Public Art Sculpture “Risk” by Alex McKnight.  Elected officials, sponsors, art supporters and neighborhood residents attended.  Artist – Alex McKnight, a bay area artist was selected for this project because of his artistic achievements and his commitment to youth development through the arts.
