UpCycle

By Joni Younkins-Herzog

Material: Steel, bicycle wheels, paint

From the artist: "This artwork was inspired by recycling and the interesting variety presented by the differences of wheels. The concept was to repurpose older bicycles into a work of art that celebrated professional and amateur cycling, art, music, community, and recycling."

Flowing Arches

By Matt Moyer

Material: Painted steel

From the artist: "This sculpture explores how different people and communities (the varied colored arches) are connected by bridges (the pylon-type legs) and rivers (the wave-like form)."

Nesting

By Richard Herzog

Material: Steel, Driftwood

From the artist: “My work explores botanical forms, the lack of interaction between man and nature, the artificialization of nature, and the patterning that occurs in nature. This sculpture talks about organization and the chaotic nature within natural and man-made forms.”

Caprice

By Charles Pilkey

Materials: Stainless steel, bronze

From the artist: “A work of whimsy… there are two kinds of artworks… those that offer escape from the world and those that protest the world’s injustice. As the title suggests, Caprice is of the former type, an entertaining work of whimsy intended to provide temporary rest from the mad rush of modernity.”
