Visit Española Way & Washington Avenue to experience Sundial Spectrum by Jen Stark.

Sundial Spectrum consists of 13 sculptural hanging panels showcasing Stark’s signature bold colors on vinyl laminated polycarbonate along with large-scale murals framing the walkway. Inspired by geometry and natural forms, the hypnotic patterns will shift throughout the day. As light filters through, viewers will find themselves surrounded by rainbow shadows along Española Way.

The complete installation is on display through the end of March 2025. While the sculptural hanging panels will be de-installed in advance of hurricane season, Stark’s murals can be enjoyed through October 2025.
