“Foxgloves and Fists” • 6’ x 2.25’ • Steel, Fiberglass with Ceramic and Glass

Artist: Nicole Beck

Sponsor: Newsweb Corporation

Location: Stockton Drive and Webster


“Foxgloves and Fists” is one of the most attractive depictions of man's continuing fight with nature. Foxgloves (digitalis purpurea) are toxic to man, yet their beauty is what draws us. Fists wrap around the brightly colored mosaic. On the top of the column, the foxgloves are reflected in the sunlight. The mosaic tiles and brightly painted fists incorporate and reflect the colors of the gardens.
