They’re painted in the vibrant colors of the Colorado sky – turquoise, baby blue, ruby red – and they form a shape resembling the infinity symbol.  \n\nThat painted baggage is part of a new installation by Colorado artist Thomas Evans, better known as Detour. He’s well known around Denver for his colorful murals of local sports legends like Denver Nuggets Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic.  \n\nDetour talked earlier this year with Erin O’Toole about what inspired his new art at DIA – and some of the stories behind the luggage. We’re listening back to that conversation today. \n\nYou can see even more photos from the installation on  Detour’s website at https://www.iamdetour.com/. \nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
