The Mineview sculpture is inspired by the mining history of Chisholm, specifically the layers of earth that are visible from mining overlooks in the area. The colors are based on the landscape that one sees at an abandoned mine pit where water, trees, and vegetation begin to mix in with the layers of rock. The sculpture design makes use of cut-outs or empty spaces that are analogous to the recesses that are left behind from mining.
