Hollywood Project

Today I’m getting ready to move forward on this tree form in bronze, for the city of West Hollywood.  Once we have final sight plan views from the landscape architects, we’ll produce a site-specific drawing, and begin the piece.

 

 

 

This tree will be made in bronze rods.  I went to a week of welding school at Lincoln

to get really flat on mig welding bronze, and find the best procedures and settings for 1/4″ rods.

Looking like a September start for this, I look forward to seeing it.

New Installation in Concord with, ah, comments.

Here is a piece from a recent installation at the Mill Brook Gallery Sculpture Garden in Concord, NH.

A recent article in the Concord Monitor said “ Karl Saliter also uses natural materials in his evocative “Ground of Being…”  and other stuff too.  We part company after this much of the author’s vision, but the article is here if you’re curious.

And a third, hopefully, larger.

Matter Equals Energy

Here is a 17-ton piece which an art rep has just informed me might find a home very soon. I love this piece, it took everything I could marshall to create.
