Hearts and Minds: This gateway integrates sculpture, solar powered light, poetry and signage. Inspired by the Orca School sustainability and garden focus, the glass heart is shaped from an eggplant and the glass brain is created from a cauliflower casting. The lighting is powered by solar panels, which provide a curriculum for students. Seattle City Light and Seattle School District co-sponsored a solar unit that feeds the electrical grid to power the lights. The poem on the base was written during collaboration between 3rd grade students, Poet in Residence Carolyn Hall, and Mary Coss.
Orca Rising: This portal was designed for Orca at Columbia School. The Orca whale skeleton sits at an entry to the school yard. The dorsal fins have transformed into wings and the skeletal structure has a heart.
Environmental Hazards: The artwork illustrates the life cycle of a frog, from eggs to adult. Leaving two wishbones behind, the full-grown frog leaps into the air to eat a coin, which starts his demise into fossilization. In the process he has sprouted a fantasy heart and wings, which aid in his passing. The last chapter is a sandblasted image of the frog rising on the glass near the entry.
