Ascend was installed today at the Sand Diego Botanic Garden for temporary display. A 7.5-foot tall corten steel sculpture, the reds of the oxide patina compliment the greens of the gardens wonderfully. The Botanic Garden is located at 230 Quail Gardens Dr, Encinitas, CA 92024, just north of San Diego.

Work on the Rio Bosque Wetlands Park Hawk Sculpture for El Paso, TX is nearing completion. Below are photos of the stainless steel hawk sculpture with its final oxide patina, the corten steel tree sculpture with a rust finish, and the five related signs that will be placed in different areas of the parks, just prior to getting their rusted finish. The bird sculpture will be mounted at the top of the tree, and the signs will receive graphics that describe the flora and fauna of the park.

Here’s a video showing the progress on the wing for a Harris Hawk sculpture for the Rio Bosque Wetlands Project in El Paso, TX. The fabrication of this stainless steel and corten public art sculpture is going smoothly and the installation is currently scheduled to happen in about four months. Stay tuned for more progress pics and video!
