Inspired by the native red bud on site, heart-shaped leaf patterns add pattern and texture to concrete walls and to two city entryway bridges at Courthouse Road and 10th Street. Bridge spans are clad with laser-cut leaf patterned grills, LED back illuminated, becoming landmarks along highway 50.

Airway: This project renovates existing infrastructure, creating a gateway to the El Paso International Airport and to Downtown El Paso. It suggests flight and movement, created by an array of illuminated vertical wind turbines with custom armatures, geometric sculptures, and arcs of native plants.

375: The Outer Loop links East and West El Paso with a spine flanked by frontage roads that lead into neighborhoods and businesses. The work is a sequential ribbon of faceted and undulating pattern motifs based on geometric mountain forms and the local diamond back rattler in 2 light-capturing relief.

SoBel: Six-feet tall acoustic panels run along the guide way to mitigate sound. The leaf inspired patterning for these acoustic panels introduces color, texture and scale along one thousand feet in front of the station. The patterning transitions color to mark seasons. Similarly, the leaf inspired column wraps introduce human scale to the 24 high platform columns.

I-405: This project celebrates the maple seed as if it is blown in a musical cadence to transform MSE walls that mark the Totem Lake neighborhood creating a crescendo of geometry and pattern work celebrating the landscape and transforming the infrastructure.



BIOGRAPHY

Vicki Scuri is passionate about her work, promoting community identity and more livable public places. She is an Interdisciplinary Artist and Designer, with a stellar track record spanning over 32 years. Her work thrives at the intersections of Art with Urban Design, Environment and Infrastructure, bridging the gaps between disciplines to create a more meaningful and engaging public realm.

Educated in printmaking and drawing, she transformed her studio work into large-scale public work as a member of the Downtown Seattle Transit Artist Design Team, where she was introduced to design team collaborations and urban design. This marks the beginning of her interdisciplinary practice, Vicki Scuri SiteWorks. She specializes in humanizing infrastructure and transforming ordinary and often neglected urban spaces into hubs of vitality and beauty. Infrastructure, best symbolized as the backbone of urban design, is the system upon which society builds its core values, creating meaning, mobility and connectivity. This meaning is exponentially expanded when infrastructure is symbolically connected to people and place, promoting social interaction and connectivity through shared landmarks and destinations.

Vickis projects are best known for symbolic pattern work; the play of sunlight and shadow over sculptural form; and her ability to conceptually engage the entire site as a canvas. Her works are layered in meaning, inviting multiple views, and sustained interest. She excels in collaborations, with professionals and communities with different backgrounds than her own, promoting thoughtful, expansive dialogue and discovery. She is a good communicator and she has the ability to build consensus among diverse groups. She is knowledgeable in all phases of design, cost estimating, fabrication, and construction. She is constantly honing her skills. In 2013, she earned a Certificate in Digital Design and Fabrication from UW. These digital tools expand her abilities to realize her work on the scale of the city, and to embrace a more experimental process in image and fabrication development. Her practice includes design team collaborations, mentoring interns, public outreach and public art master planning, promoting economic development through the Arts.

Vicki is a consummate professional who energizes her work and the people around her through her enthusiasm for creating more livable, beautiful and sustainable communities.

Ms. Scuri Your work in Arlington is beautiful. Thank you. Its a soothing tonic in what can only otherwise be called a grueling and thankless commute home-until now. It just made me smile when I saw it. This is what public art should do. Ray, an Arlington citizen
