Custom Answers 2) Statement Regarding ThemeArtist must provide a written statement (up to 150 words) as part of their submittal explaining how their sculpture addresses and illustrates the theme.   Art is like music, it stimulates the mind and the senses. With this in mind I build my pieces with emphasis on space, form, color, line, rhythm, and content. Artists are image makers and like the world's antennas, they feel, think and express reality. Momentarily I focus on "defining our spaces", like building a new society, using color, form and line as the building blocks. In addition to my public art projects I have developed a series of "color molecule" sculptures. The sculptures represent an homage to the smallest building block of life, the molecules. The theme is called "metamorphosis" which means change, and I see my work fitiing to the theme, as we all have metamorphed from molecules to a human being, so honoring the smallest entity in us seems allright. The work has semi circular motions, which gives a light feeling. The piece is 14' x 6;' x 6'. It is powder coated, the main color being turquise with colored glass inserted in the molecules. When the light shines through 3) Art Installation and De-Installation PlanPlease reference the attached site plan and provide an installation and de-installation plan and requirements for the attachment of the Artwork and the type of hardware to be used for the attachment.

Where the milled wood is supporting the stone, but at the same time, the stone is locking all the pieces together, similar to a key stone. This moment of transformation shows how interlocked we are. As the city of Freemont continues to grow, it is pertinent that the residents and the biosphere around maintain a connection with nature. This pieces is creates a sense of wonder from afar, pulling the viewer in and around while leading them to ask, who supports whom? It forces the viewer to slow down observe, and question what is central during this time of metamorphosis. 3) Art Installation and De-Installation PlanPlease reference the attached site plan and provide an installation and de-installation plan and requirements for the attachment of the Artwork and the type of hardware to be used for the attachment. This piece has a fabricated steel sleeve that the wood slides into and is then bolted to. This sleeve is professionally welded to a 9"x 12" x 1/2 thick base plate with four hole in it that are used for bolts to pass through to be mounted to a concrete pad. The wood is glued and doweled (maple) together using outdoor, freeze safe wood glues. Once in position and fastened to the sleeve, the rock (50 lbs) is held up by a lift wile the steel cables are threaded through the three post. These are then wire clamped and then re-inforced using channel bar. The cables are epoxied to the stone in 6" holes with concrete epoxy rated at 22,000 lbs/sq/in. This piece has been inspected by an engineer. De-installation requires unbolting the cables from the wood. Pulling the wood out of the sleeve and removing the base plate. 4) Artist Bio/ResumePlease provide a bio/resume. Bio: Growing up in the soggy foothills of the Willamette Valley in Oregon, I spent my childhood years exploring the natural world around me, and focusing on my role within it. My years at the University of Oregon honed in my experiences and I began to use art to illuminate the relationship between Nature and humans. The Natural world and its processes are my source of inspiration. Delving deeper into the Earths Biospheres has kept me in awe, but never surprised by the connectivity of it all.
