THE
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AT FITZSIMONS
Aurora, Colorado
Artist: Carolyn Braaksma
Year Completed: 2007
Media: Terrazzo
with metal embeds
Braaksma designed a bright
19,000 square foot terrazzo floor that
creates a maze of color and imagery
to remind children of a place away
from doctors and nurses. Some of
the featured imagery includes a
butterfly with a 28-foot wingspan,
a maze, and an engraved Spanish
healing poem.
