Silvia Davis, Jim Jacobs
Crystal Grate, 1994 Bronze

Silvia Davis and Jim Jacobs collaborated on this project for the new Gallivan Center plaza in 1994.

The snowflake design seen in the tree grates throughout Gallivan Plaza is a pattern easily recognized by Utahns. This pattern was taken from a photograph of a snowflake and then redrawn on a computer to make sure the openings were enough that water would easily flow to the trees. One quarter of the pattern was drawn life-size and was used to make two life size wooden patterns for the bronze casting. The finished grate consists of four bronze quadrants bolted together and treated with a patina finish.

This project was part of the Block 57 development / The Gallivan Center.
