Gondola Art Stroll #6
A Love of Maps and Utah
by Elizabeth Walsh
Gondola Artwork Didactic
This gondola design was inspired by my love of maps. I think maps help us understand a place and connect with it on a deeper level. It is an exciting thing that Utah is going to host the 2034 Winter Olympics, so I wanted to incorporate the state’s shape. And because we have the best snow on earth, I knew I had to make the design a ski slope. So I made the state of Utah into the ski slope to celebrate Park City’s contribution to the Games. Look around and see what else you see on and around the mountain. The countdown is on. It may be 10 years away, but we can get excited now!
