Opening Ceremony!

The big bash with the Mayor and other dignitaries will be on Wednesday, March 21 from 5:30 - 7pm. The celebration and reception will be at the Beck Recreation Center located at 800 Telluride St. (near 6th and I-225) in Aurora.

Please come! I'll even brush my hair, dress-up and use a little lipstick for the affair.

Loomiller's "Flying Trees'

Progress is being made. All the structural drawings outlining the design for the sculpture installation have submitted for the public engineer's review. The soil assessment report will be completed this week.

Once the recommendations have been made final... acquisition of materials will begin. That's a process to take at least two weeks. The components include specialty products, which will have to be ordered.

Check out the page for Loomiller Park for more information and detailed drawings. More photos to come!!

1-2-3 DONE!

The artwork is up. It took six people and a long 18-hour day.

The team made up by Dan Mills of Xtreme Signs and Fabrication made a huge, giant, large, big contribution to the installation's success. A special thanks to Ryan, Louis, Dave and Robert.

Other contributors are Colorado Powder Coating and D&L Stained Glass.

To see more images and details, take a look at Aurora's Beck Recreation Center page.

Installation Date is Set

This January 17, 18 & 20, the installation of "Under the Swimming Pool" will begin. The details of the installation are still being ironed-out. There will be a six-man crew and a drywall lift, and of course, a few ladders.

The plan is to install the frame work and start setting the glass and figurative elements. At first the creative elements will be roughed-in. The second and third day will be move, tweek and adjust the individual pieces.

Tour of a Model

This is a fun pictorial demonstrating a model:

Deana Miller took the photos.


As a sculptor and a fairly private person, it's difficult to invite a large group into the shop. But this afternoon, we siped on Hansen's Orange soda and talked art. Since then, much progress, of course, has been made on the project.

The installation date has been moved to January 2012. Today the suspension frames got delivered for the final powder coating. The guys were impressed by "Big Brother", my new-used truck. The frames have to be moved by fork lift. No wonder I'm tired as I shoved and pulled the work around the studio 'a mano'.
