| “Wanders in a Riparian Garden” Sculptures #2 and #3 Completed 2007 A City of Sacramento Public Art Commission for a neighborhood park in the Natomas area. There are three sculptures, two are located together and one set individually along the park’s walkway. These sculptures use light and shadow as the physical part of the artwork utilizing the environment as it changes throughout the day and year. The sculptures are arranged like a musical composition of various graphic elements based on the ecology of riparian habitat. Each sculpture has its own imagery with some similarity and repetition, forming a dynamic phrase or patterning that converges into an elegant synchronized form. The symmetry of the sculptures forms a three part visual symphony. Each screen measures, 10’ x 7’ x 5” Location: Regency Community Park, 5500 Honor Parkway, Sacramento, California |

| "Wanderers in a Riparian Garden" This is a detailed view of sculpture # 2’s waterjet cutout steel riparian imagery and shows an example of the porcleinized photographs. In all, there are ten photos made permanent through a process where they are high-fired on porcelain enamel steel. The photos were selected out of our photographic survey of riparian habitat. The sculpture's steel structure of welded square tubing creates a visual outline suggestive of the surrounding mountains. |
