Seattle's Public Art: Jen Dixon 8/1/2008
The theme for the Witness Trees at Bergen Place Park is inspired by the site's rich history. History is fluid like water -- always changing, moving and shifting upon each telling. The telling carves, reveals, and brings forward a strata of individual and collected stories. "Witness" or "bearing" trees were used as reference points for the first U.S. land surveys in 1851. The five cedar posts that previously held up an awning in the original park plan, suggest a vast primordial forest. The artwork symbolically turns the posts back into trees through the installation of five tree sculptures -- Fossil Tree, First Tree, Clam Tree, Immigrant Tree, and New Growth Tree. |
 |
Seattle's Public Art: Kay Kirkpatrick 8/1/2008
n the Northwest our eyes turn always to the great forests; they hold our dreams, mark our memories, and provide us sustenance and safe haven. The trees stand together in order and harmony, despite inundation by the chaos of life. Although hiding uncertainty and the unknown in their vastness, they shelter and protect us. The art works in the station look at the surrounding Longfellow Creek Watershed for different perspectives and attempt to create the same sense of sanctuary and peace for both police officers and citizens. |
 |
Seattle's Public Art: Mary Ann Peters 8/1/2008
Inspired by her Lebanese heritage, Mary Ann Peters' work investigates a combination of Western aesthetic elements with Arabic influences. This cross-cultural interest gives Peters' work a unique personal vocabulary. Sensuous in their forms and inviting in their reference to a personal territory, Peters' work maps a response to a place either real or imagined. They are abstractions anchored by the possibility that the elements exist. Peters' unique formal vocabulary uses a combination of Arabesque lines, organic shapes and washes of graphite and color. Driven by something largely felt, or initiated by and guided within intuition, these elements combine to give her work a rhythmic spontaneity and complexity. |
 |
Seattle's Public Art: Norman Lundin 8/1/2008
Just as one cannot have something long without having something short for comparison, one cannot have an object without a void. It is the void that interests me. With this kind of priority I find that I must use objects that have little or no emotional association. Negative space is fragile if one wants to use it as the primary ''subject matter'' of a painting. Any object depicted that has significant emotional associations will tend to dominate (which is exactly what I don't want to happen). The objects are not there to be described; they are there to explain the space. I don't limit myself all the time, though, and, once in a while, I do use loaded subject matter. |
 |
Seattle's Public Art: Stuart Nakamura 8/1/2008
Stuart Nakamuara's "Call and Response," a sculptural installation comprising several elements will greet staff of, and visitors to, fire Station 10 at the entry plaza. A composition including a boulder, inlaid paver and a cut metal screen reflects Fire Station 10's legacy, ties into the international District, and draws attention to the importance of water in live and in the work of the firefighters. A large, custom selected rock, etched with abstract lines evoking water ripples, forms the focal point of the composition. It recalls the original Fire Station 10's stature as the foundation, the footing and the anchor of the firefighting service in Seattle. |
 |
Seattle's Public Art: Ted Jonsson 8/1/2008
Artist Ted Jonsson created this artwork for the Seattle Public Utilities' Operations Control Center, answering the City's request for work that would "use water as the primary sculptural element, rather than other sculptural materials." The sculpture consists of two curved, stainless steel pipes, at either end of a pool of water. The pipes mirror one another, creating a figure eight. Water pours out of the top of each pipe and into the pool. The water can be manipulated by two valves, which employees and the public can operate. |

Seattle's Public Art: Gerard Tsutakawa, Urban Peace Circle 11/26/2007
This edition of Seattle's Public Art looks at The Urban Peace Circle by Gerard Tsutakawa. The Urban Peace Circle is the culmination of a gun buy-back program by an organization called Stop The Violence, formed after six young people were shot and killed in the Puget Sound region on weekend in March 1992. The funds raised from the buy-back were used to commission the piece, and several of the reclaimed guns were symbolically entombed in the concrete base of the sculpture. Produced for the SEATTLE CHANNEL by John Forsen with support from the Mayor's Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs. |
 |
Seattle's Public Art: Kristin Tollefson, WaterLogs + Leaf/Hull 11/26/2007
This edition of Seattle's Public Art looks at WaterLogs + Leaf/Hull by Kristin Tollefson. The work blurs the boundaries between land and water, past and present, nature and our imprint on it. The curving tilted logs reclaimed from the bottom of Lake Union suggest the half hull of a boat, the pilings of an old pier, or perhaps outstretched fingers. The concave steel ellipse alludes both to the trees and to the maritime influences at the site. The work aims to be simultaneously scientific and poetic, minimal and baroque. Produced for the SEATTLE CHANNEL by John Forsen with support from the Mayor's Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs. |
 |
Seattle's Public Art: Preston Singletary, Raven Crest Hat 11/26/2007

Produced for the SEATTLE CHANNEL by John Forsen with support from the Mayor's Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs. |

Perri Lynch's Straight Shot is a procession of 12 standing stones (one stone has yet to be installed due to park construction), which runs parallel to and marks the calibration baseline. The stones are perfectly aligned over the course of one kilometer in an orderly progression from north to south. In land surveying, as in art, special relationships may be expressed through classic algebraic terms. Between each pair of stones, the distance doubles. |

Lit from below, they will be visible both day and night and will mark the overpass for those passing below, and will also provide a gateway to Magnolia and Interbay. |

Low native plantings, pruned to children's height for safety, are shaped and colored to resemble tidal pools. The garden is a field for the imagination where children can explore and take risks. |
