Project Proposal:
I propose a site-specific sculpture, a bronze easel, to be placed within the landscape of Redmond for the Redmond Outdoor Park Exhibition. The easel itself is to be part cast bronze as well as bronze piping, designed and welded by me with the help of Seattle welder, Jerry Sustek, and cast with help of Olympic Foundry.
The artwork is a sculpture and a performance as it will be fully adjustable by the viewer/participant. It is a space in which to engage as well as a tool to support the art community within Redmond. A plaque will accompany the sculpture inviting viewer participation stating; “Turn this easel to a desired location. Look. Create.” There is a possibility for landscape classes to accompany the piece over its two-year duration.
It is time for public sculpture to speak not just of the beauty within itself but and perhaps more importantly to the beauty surrounding it, our environment, out of which it is born.
