Commission Completed

Joe just put the finishing touches on Shifting Planes, a multi-panel relief which was commissioned by University of California, Davis Medical Center. The visual concept represents regional agricultural patterns inspired by flying over the Sacramento Valley Region. Oil and acrylic on wood, 32" x 96" x 6"

Catch A Book at West Sac Library

Hurrah! Joe's steel book sculpture, Catch a Book, was installed this week. It was great fun to watch people's reactions when they saw the 9-foot high book with the tumbling stack. You too can see the books at the Arthur F. Turner Library, 1212 Merkely Drive in West Sacramento. There will be a reception in May, and we will keep you posted.  In the mean time, you can watch the You Tube 40 second stop-motion video of the installation which only took 30 minutes in real time.

Literary quotes from a variety of authors representing the diversity of the region have been added. The book jackets present aerial perspectives of the rich agricultural fields surrounding the city. Waterborne paints were used with a UV, anti-graffiti clear coat.
