Sunnyvale, California

Client: BRE Developers through Chandra Cerrito Art Advisors

This sculptural archway celebrates the origin of tools, specifically hand tools.  These tools are the necessary precursors to all of the technological tools with which Sunnyvale is so closely associated.  Many of these tools are still part of virtually every household and are just as important today as they were at their beginnings. 

The archway, with its two ‘wings’ (railings) creates a distinctive space within the courtyard of this new commercial/residential building.

Daly City, California

Client: BART Arts Commission

Migration features four flocks of seabirds in flight which create a dynamic sense of movement and interaction.  These migratory birds are symbolic of the recently established demographic diversity of Daly City and BART as the vehicle for that migration.  They also reference the ocean and Daly City’s close proximity to the Pacific. 

Each flock is mounted to a lamp pole which lights them at night.  The blackened stainless steel birds exude an ephemeral quality against the sky.

Castro Valley, California

Client: Oakland Arts Commission for the Castro Valley Library

Tree of Knowledge is an exterior wall sculpture for the new Castro Valley Library, designed by Noll & Tam Architects.  It depicts important works of literature through the use of iconic images. The grid that integrates these often archtypal symbols evokes a game board, an invitation for engagement and curiosity for viewers of all ages.

From the base of the grid grows a robust, far-reaching tree whose branches travel far afield, evoking the wonderful experience of "breaking out of the box" of who you are after having read a great work of literature.
