Mason City, Iowa

"Matriarchal Moon Creature" hangs in the downtown crossroads of Mason City, Iowa.  She's part of a new program "River City Sculptures on Parade".  It's also part of a network program managed by Jim Clark's "Sioux Falls Art Walk".

On September 7th, I met wonderful and enthusiastic installation crew.  The installation went up smoothly.  At first, MMC was smirking at me, resisting to turn.  I sat in the park waiting for her to greet me as she can be moody.  This morning, Brandi sent word she's spinning like a top.

MMC will be located in Mason City until Spring of 2014.  You'll have a chance to see her in all seasons!

Thank you to all that helped and coordinated the installation.  I especially enjoyed meeting the other sculptors, Felix, Jacque, Deb and Mendez from Indiana.

The sculpture is in place

More images will be posted, but here's a wonderful video Carrie Richer made of the installation:

The project for ArtSpot in Jackson Hole, Wyoming is making progress.  Check out the blog page for more images and details.  Planned delivery to Colorado Powder Coating in Wednesday or Thursday of this week.  This is an especially fun project for me.
