Mesa Fire Station 201
Sculptures and Bas Relief by Judy Stewart
Mesa Fire Station 201
360 E. First Street
Several pieces of art were created for installation
in the grass courtyard immediately north of Mesa's
newest fire station, located on First Street just west
of Mesa Drive. The artist, Judy Stewart, from Oracle,
Arizona, was selected by a panel of community members,
fire personnel, and project staff.
A series of bas relief plaques was inspired by actual
photographs of firefighters from the station's archives,
with several smaller sculptures created in response to
requests for artwork with which visiting school children
could interact.

The artwork consists of six double-sided art panels,
made of Lexan and suspended by aircraft cable, that draw
their inspiration from a variety of sources, including
the nearby Red Mountain, local plant and animals life,
and information found within the library's collection.
Some of the pieces incorporate actual quotes from books
and numbers from the Dewey Decimal System.
