With the support of the Scottsdale Mall, 7373 E. 2nd Street, the Scottsdale Public Art program provides an opportunity for artists to alter the and enhance the bell tower, a key entry point to the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall. The Bell’e Art installations create unexpected experiences, a reason to linger and to return.

 

Current Installation:

Barn Devil

Christopher Fennell
September 1, 2009-February 5, 2010

         Artist Concept Rendering



Christopher Fennell brings together the iconic desert image of a dust devil and reclaimed barn wood to create this powerful sculpture, activating and defining the bell tower space.

Fennel was first inspired to build large installations from salvaged materials after getting a job tearing down a condemned barn during his college years when he gathered the wood on the job site to create his first artwork of this type. Since then, Fennell has continued to use and be inspired by cast off materials that have a history. He holds degrees in both sculpture and mechanical engineering from the University of South Florida and currently resides in Birmingham, AL.
