Work on the 9/11 Memorial continues…

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

Work continues on the 9/11 Memorial sculpture. This public art is requiring a massive investment of labor, each of the nearly 3000 parts requiring custom fitting to the overall shape. Below is a photo of the progress and a video showing one of the parts being fit.

Ripple sculpture – complete!

Video and stills of Heath Satow Sculpture’s latestĀ  public art piece, titledĀ  “Ripple”.

Aluminum and granite, twenty feet wide by six feet tall.

Inspired by Karesansui (“Zen”) gardens, combining the directional “combing” of patterns with ripples emanating from three mirror-polished black granite spheres. 240 panels make up the surface illusion, each 3/8″ thick aluminum (sanded sides, polished edges) set at a 45-degree angle to the wall.

Time-lapse video of the installation:
