Project Description

Substation Pieces: “Tribute in Blue”
Curvilinear Stainless Steel & Cobalt Glass
Five Independent wall pieces
Dimensions Variable

The last portion of my project involves the five police substations located throughout Tacoma. There are simple, wall-mounted sculptures in each of these neighborhood gathering places. I used the upper portion of the main sculpture as my inspiration for these pieces by combining the curved and polished stainless steel with the shards of cobalt blue glass. Officers and community members will have to work daily with these pieces of art in their space, and I didn’t want something oppressive or depressing; instead, while having a tether to the primary memorial, these sculptures will be light, bright, and uplifting, and I hope, inspiring as well.
