The art being created this spring by Cydney Ross and Alix Daniel in Kill Creek Park will disappear one day — exactly as planned. Ross and Daniel are this year’s resident artists in a Johnson County Parks Department public art program that pairs the eye of artists with the department’s work in natural resources. The public will have an opportunity Saturday to be a part of the ephemeral temporary art piece and contribute to the restoration effort by creating their own sculpture work with clay seed. The Art and Natural Resources Residency is a short-term program where local artists are embedded with the recreation district’s natural resources team to learn, respond artistically and amplify the work. The program was started because the community wanted park spaces and public art used in a new way, said Susan Mong, superintendent of culture for the Johnson County Parks & Recreation District.
