Derived from Indio’s history with date palms, this ¾ mile sculptural structure on Jackson St. provides valuable shade and connects the CV Link to the downtown. Local school children drew shadows of palms & we translated those drawings onto perforated shadow-casting panels. An undulating structure reflects the surrounding mountains.
