Detail of Pomerleau Neighborhood Park

In collaboration with architect Steven Schenker, we created a circular park with 20 cast-concrete sphinx-like sculptures. The park’s circle becomes an oasis located in the midst of a commercial area with heavy traffic. The design solution wed sculpture and space to form a sanctuary combining landscaping, sitting areas, a bus stop shelter, and guardian sphinx figures. Vines are growing on the columns, and the atmosphere, trees, and plantings change each season. The nine sculptures atop the columns provide a ‘drive-by vision’ from the road. Visitors have a more intimate experience sitting next to smaller sculptures on the wall.
