Inspired by the native red bud on site, heart-shaped leaf

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
