architectural ornament
The streets are like a canvas, a place for ornament to sew contemporary living with traditional construction.
Gait sculpture against storefront window frame
The original intent for the sculpture was to have an outdoor/ exterior installation, with storefront window as a backdrop. In this full size model, the sculpture is almost one with the window frame.
Other examples shown here on lower pages include sculpted metal as a decorative cover, or accent for the window frames and building facade. The sculpture is no longer stand-alone type, but is dimensioned to fit and compliment the the window systems.
