Install in Fresno

While I was in Sonoma, and Santa Barbara, and Venice last month, I stopped by Fresno to lend a hand with this project. 30 Whitaker Wind Sculptures on the roof of the Clovis Community Hospital’s new Cancer Infusion Center. The works are soothing for patients to gaze upon as they’re getting their treatments, and we like helping with that.

Jacob Burmood’s Sculpture for Dallas Stadium 50% Complete

I landed this gig for good old Jacob Burmood last January. Monument for the National Soccer Hall of Fame, adjacent to the new FC Dallas Stadium.

Bebe and I went to his studio yesterday to sip joe and check up on the piece. She was moderately impressed but I’m ecstatic. We borrowed from Art Deco design in developing the concept, and Jacob is doing a brilliant job as usual. The finished piece will be in cold-cast aluminum, silver.

Sculpture Project in Istanbul

Istanbul

I was recently approached by an architect in Miami about overseeing a sculpture project for Atasehir Hospital in Istanbul. Have always wanted to go to Turkey, so I said Sure. Think I’ll swim the Hellespont, like Lord Byron–except it’s a little more polluted than in his day. More ships too. If neither of those kill me, it will all go well.

Another Trip to CA

Shots are from a great trip, biz and pleasure, a few years ago. We’ll go back next month. More biz, more pleasure. Always love visiting, but will never live there.
