About this Sculpture

This sculpture was acquired by the City of Walnut Creek in 1989 to commemorate its 75^th anniversary.

The artist is quoted as saying, Rather than thinking of art and nature as opposing forces to be balanced, I see them as parallel forces seeking equilibrium.

Artist's Statement

"I am an artist fully engaged in abstract contemporary sculpture.
I am a maker of objects with a craftsman’s touch.
I am a tool in the process.
I am moved by mass and scale.
I love the energy and vitality of these big chunks of salvaged redwood and work to honor their spirit.
These sculptures are the echo of a vanishing ecosystem.
May they also be seen as small acts of preservation."

Location: (Heather Drive at Swim Center area) acquired by the City of Walnut Creek in 1989 to commemorate its 75^th anniversary.
