Art in Architecture Program
Tony Feher, an American sculptor, is noted for using everyday objects in a manner that gives them, and the spaces they occupy, new identity. For this project, the untitled Art in Architecture composition will be a downtown forest consisting of 104 crab apple trees planted on an orchard-like grid, visually aligned to complement the architecture of Rockford’s new courthouse.
