Ecotone – by Barbara Cooper
Installed: 2013.
Location: Florida Gulf Coast University Library, Fort Meyers, Florida.
Wood, metal / Approximate dimensions: 36’ long x 12’ high x 8’ long
Ecotone is a place where two different habitats meet. While it has some of the characteristics of each bordering community, certain plant species not found in either appear. The influence of the two bordering communities on each other is known as the “edge effect” and it is where much wildlife activity occurs. The library at the nexus of the university is a place where different areas of study meet, overlap, and generate new ideas and energies beyond the confines of the individual disciplines that it supports.

Transitions – by Barbara Cooper
2009 / Riveted brass and stainless-steel sheeting
Location: CTA Station: Paulina [Brown Line].
Commissioned under the CTA Arts-in-Transit program, where CTA stands for Chicago Transit Authority.
The CTA website describes..
Transitions comprises a suspended sculpture and a mosaic, which form an artistic dialogue.
“Transitions is intended to mirror the fluid, ephemeral, high-energy cellular neighborhoods of the city and the connections and intersections between them, which public transportation facilitates…[it] references not only passage to different physical places, but also to other states of being and points in time.”
