Scottsdale unveils new public art Raintree Drive and Hayden Road

Posted

A new public artwork by internationally recognized artist Phillip K. Smith III has joined the Scottsdale Public Art Permanent Collection.

“TRI-HEX-CIRC” is a vertical, painted steel sculpture at northern Scottsdale’s Raintree Drive and Hayden Road roundabout. The sculpture geometrically transforms from a circle at its base to a hexagon in the middle and, finally, to a triangle at the top as it lifts more than 50 feet, engaging the ever-changing desert light and expansive sky.

“I hope that ‘TRI-HEX-CIRC’ becomes a visual icon for this part of north Scottsdale — a feeling that you know where you are when you see it,” Smith said in press release from the City of Scottsdale..

Scottsdale Public Art, part of the nonprofit Scottsdale Arts, commissioned Smith for the project on behalf of the city of Scottsdale.
