No Till Drill For Rent
Thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal for a permanent outdoor public art installation in San Luis, Colorado.
Huberto’s Sculpture Studio specializes in providing high quality limited edition bronze sculpture. Special attention is paid to function, visibility, detail, and use of space when creating a sculptural design. It is my intention, as an artist to provide you with the highest quality of a fine art reproduction. This work of art is created to reflect the special significance of the acequia culture that is prevalent in our land and water San Luis de la Culebra communities of the Culebra Watershed.
The sculpture will represent the heritage of the acequias by depicting a regador, an individual irrigating the ditch holding a tapanco (tarp) to direct the flow of water near a headgate. The figure will stand approximately 6 ft. tall. The second sculpture of a regador 5 ft. 6 in. tall within the design will depict a younger generation of farmers learning the techniques of the acequia culture.
