Vivian Beer\'s Rustle Sculpture at Winslow Park

Yesterday Bitsy (our new intern for Port City Studios) and I went over to watch Vivian Beer finish up the installation of her two public art pieces at Winslow Park. As co-chair of the Winslow Park Selection Committee with Jay York, I was part of the group that selected Vivian’s work for this location. It was a fun process, and it is particularly exciting to see the pieces in place. Over the course of the summer, the remainder of the work will be completed including some landscape and planting work, as well as a granite veneer on the base of Rustle.

We were joined by Jack Soley, the new Chair of the Public Art Committee, and his daughter Luna, and Joe Malone, a former Public Art Committee member.

I got to be the first person to sit on the Cloud Couch after its installation. That was kind of fun. Bitsy took all of these pictures.
