Since starting this project, the involvement of the neighboring businesses and neighbors has been encouraging and remarkable. When I first visited in 2007, the park was inhabited by some pretty nasty characters. And now, families and events fill the space continually. This park is an example of the kind of public space that we should create throughout the City, from whole blocks like this to tiny, special retreats. My contribution is a small part of a tremendous engagement by all sorts of people, from SMAC to CADA, to Hot Italian and all the terrific neighbors. If John Fremont is looking down, he'd be so pleased.

The vessels are installed.
My amazingly clever, hard working, and very strong crew installed both sculptures yesterday, giving up family time on a Sunday.
Lifting the sculptures off the truck, across the lawn and onto the steel rod imbedded into the concrete foundation.Now, bathed in sunshine and blue skies, they rest.
Two Friends of Fremont Park, Judy and Gerald, demonstrate the scale of the pieces.
Many thanks to Martine, Daniel, Abaldo and Prudencia Farias and crew of Farias Trucking.Monday, April 18, 2011

Progress on pad installation.
CADA and the City have completed all steps in contracting for the pad installation. I am so thrilled. Hopefully, all will proceed as planned, for installation of the sculptures before the end of this month. Tick tock.

Pad design
The central design is referencing the quadrafoil in the center of the park, around the fountain. At this point, I've been waiting for the City to proceed with their red tape. The sculptures are sitting in the middle of my studio, ready for installation at any time.

The vessels are finished.
Next I have to design the surface detail of the new pad which will be poured for placement in the Park.
