1. Sounding, 2006 - Brandon Zebold
Plasma cut mild steel, $7,200
Redmond Junior High School, 10055 166th Avenue NE
Sounding by Brandon Zebold is the result of a partnership between ROS and Redmond Junior High. Elegant and intricate, this piece is made from the artist “drawing” onto the steel shape. He uses a welder’s soapstone pencil to make the initial drawing, and then cuts the drawing into the steel with a flame.  More information on the artist

 

2. Portal, 2004 - Pasha Stinson
Granite, $23,000
Behind Redmond City Hall on the Bike Path, 15670 NE 85th Street
Portal by Pasha Stinson presents a wonderful combination of sculpted smooth surface and rough rock. The piece represents “a gateway to other worlds…a better place in the present or the future” says the artist.  Portal’s combination of the stately and the natural makes it a perfect fit for the location between City Hall and the Bike Path.

3. Mojave Ship, 2007 - Julia Haack
Recycled wood, $6,500
Redmond Regional Library, Doolittle Art Garden, 15990 NE 85th Street
Mojave Ship by Julia Haack is inspired by the shipbreaking industry, a business in which ships that are no longer in use are dismantled. The practice, which is of environmental concern, inspired the artist to use recycled wood to represent an old ship, integrated with wavy shapes that reference the ocean.

4. Connections, 2005 - Shirley Erickson
Steel and glass, $4,500
Redmond Regional Library, Doolittle Art Garden, 15990 NE 85th Street
Connections by Shirley Erickson combines natural and domestic ingredients that call to mind ideas of family and nature. Her vines and leaves twist together towards a globe-like shape that coexists with the glass house, resulting in a gentle and elegant picture of our larger international family.  More information on the artist

 

5. Missile Man, 1983 - Phillip Levine
Bronze, steel base, $9,500
Redmond Regional Library, Front Entrance, 15990 NE 85th Street
Levine has been working in bronze for over thirty years, and this striking sculpture represents his longstanding interest in the human figure. Missile Man looks part-human, part-machine, an example of nature and science coming together. Levine has created such works throughout Washington, demonstrating what he calls "the figure as a symbol and, at the same time, as a metaphor."  More information on the artist

 

6. Split Personality, 2006 - James Madison
Aluminum, $10,000
Redmond Way and 161st Avenue NE
Split Personality by James Madison is a self-portrait inspired by the work of Picasso. Madison has created his face twice, as both Tlingit Indian and Salish, using the carving methods from both traditions. Influenced by European Art History and his own cultural heritage, Madison unites these distinct traditions by applying traditional carving methods to a contemporary aluminum sculpture.

 

7. Pollen, 2007 - Kristin Tollefson
Polyurethane coated mild steel, $6,000
Redmond Elementary School, 16800 NE 80th Street
Pollen by Kristin Tollefson is a sculpture that will move and change during the exhibition. Her pollen-shaped sculpture will be moved slightly every two-to-three months, revealing the mark left behind in the grass by its previous placement. The result will be a pattern in the grass that the pollen sculpture has created- a sculpture that makes art!

 

8. Loophole II, 2007 - Merrilee Moore
Fabricated stainless steel, $14,900
Redmond Town Center Plaza, 16594 NE 74th Street
Loophole II by Merrilee Moore offers a photo-opportunity for anyone wishing to pose with this piece by peeking through one of its holes and giving themselves the body of a sculpture! Playful and elegant, Loophole II was made especially for this exhibition and is part of an ongoing series that has been featured in outdoor exhibitions across Washington.

Steel and paint, $3,200
Redmond Town Center, Macy's Parking Lot Lawn, NE 74th Street and 168th Avenue NE
Occupation of Desire by Mary Kuebelbeck suggests a simple yet elegant movement, such as a dance or a mother’s embrace.

11. Bluebird, 2006 - Mike Decker
