Who could have envisioned such a monumental head? Right here, in the plaza of the Wellington E. Webb Municipal Building, stands the East 2 West Source Point. This captivating sculpture, crafted in 2003 by artist Larry Kirkland, isn’t your typical artwork. It’s a modern take on the ancient Roman god Janus, known for his two faces. The East 2 West Source Point, however, presents us with only portions of faces. These partial heads, carved from Carrara marble, gaze in opposite directions. They symbolize the past and the future, reminding us of the present moment. The thick slabs of marble, stacked to create the heads, also represent the layered history of Denver. Notice the rough and smooth textures of the stone. They echo the dynamic growth of a city, built layer upon layer. Between the two heads, a six-foot square window frames a bronze bob. This bob isn’t just decorative. It bears the imprints of hands and fingers, symbolizing the countless individuals who contributed to the building and the city itself. The East 2 West Source Point stands as a testament to Denver’s past and a beacon towards its future.
