2021 Public Sculpture Selection

When considering sculptures, keep in mind the size of each sculpture's base in relation to the size of the given concrete pad.  

#1 - Abandoned Embrace

• stainless and mild steel
• 6.5 x 6 x 3'
• 200 lbs
• $6,000​
  ​

Installation Plan: Four 3/8 inch concrete anchor bolts, more or less equally space out on the 3 foot diameter base plate will be use to secure the piece to the ground​

Statement: This sculpture represents the overarching sense of disconnect between different groups in today's American society. We live in a country full of people from different backgrounds, but unfortunately we don't always embrace and share in these differences. I would like this piece to evoke and inspire a sense of unity amongst diversity.

​The general shape of the sculpture was conceived from the idea of "open arms." From there, I manipulated the forms to create an eye-catching piece composed of two separate, yet united pieces with curving planes and intersecting spaces.

#2 - Accordion Pump

• Painted carbon steel with patina and hot-wax coating to prevent rust run-off
• 7.5x8x2​
• 300 lbs
• $5,300
  ​

Installation Plan: This sculpture anchors with 2 half inch or 5/8 inch bolts in the corners of the triangle base plate and one anchor on the round base plate​

Statement: Accordion Pump explores of the often overlooked but vital pumps that hide throughout our contemporary landscape.  I am particularly intrigued with water pumps of all types, and Accordion Pump is no different.  It explores the idea of pumping water out of the ground like a well or out of a river like the pump house islands in the middle of rivers.  It has an implied expansion and retraction visual motion and firmly seats to the ground with a valve partially open as if it can extract water from beneath a city park, or a sidewalk equally.​

#3 - Action Reaction

• stainless steel, acrylic, spray paint
• 118 x 54 x 30 (118‚Äùx54‚Äùx30‚Äù?)
• 600 lbs approx.
• $17,000​
  
  

Installation Plan: Four tabs welded to the bottom allowing for easy drilling to set 4 concrete anchors 3/8" or 1/2" into a cement footing.  Installation requires no lifting equipment if a trailer can be backed up to the footing.  If no lifting equipment is available, about five people would be needed to move off the trailer and lift upright.  ​

Statement: Action Reaction, inspired by classical figurative sculpture along with geologic and Neolithic rock formations, takes a closer look at the individual, the person, and the weight they assume.  The abstracted figurative form exists in a state of perpetual action and reaction as its stainless-steel body constructs and twists under a large, painted, rock-like mass.  The painted, layered histories accumulated atop the figurative form expresses the here and now with the use of applied text and imagery. The text and imagery are suitable for all ages.  

#4  - Amerzon

• Painted Aluminum
• 108 x 36 x 30"
• 65 lbs
• $12,500
  ​
  

Installation Plan: The sculpture comes with a cylindrical steel base which has a flange which can be anchored into a level concrete surface.

Statement: Amazon is the representation of an American warrior.

#5 - Ancient Game 

• welded steel
• 96"H  X 38"W X  30"D
• 450lbs.
• $18,500.00
  ​

Installation Plan: 4 expanding masonry bolts, one at each corner of sculpture base.​

Statement: Since 2002 I have been designing and fabricating sculptural work either fully or partially composed of iron and steel. The focus of my recent work has been almost exclusively in the utilization of industrial detritus which I alter and/or recombine in such a manner as to create work that is not only resonant and original but manifests the aura of having been created from base raw material, i.e. cast bronze. Of course there is, and should be, at least a subliminal sense of the processed heritage of the metal. 

#6  - Angles Shadows Reaching 

• Steel
• 6'8" H x 72" W x 20" deep on integrated 48" x 72" steel plate base.
• +_ 650 lbs.
• $10,000.00
  
  

Installation Plan: Integrated base is 4' x 6', with a 3/4" hole at each corner, 8" off the edge.  4 @ 5/8" wedge anchors​

Statement: I try to find the beauty and piece in repetition and familiar angles and materials, but combine those elements in a way that draws the viewer into and around the piece. Angles, Shadows Reaching , while appearing at first to be an assemblage of right angles quickly captures the viewer into looking through the piece, discovering the myriad relationships among the pieces , of which there are only 4 unique shapes. Additionally, it casts complex changing shadows dependent upon the weather. 

#7 - Ark

• Mild Steel
• 120'h x 60"w x 65"d
• 700 lbs
• $12,500
  ​​

Installation Plan: Placed on the concrete pad by crane or boom truck. I will provide battery powered hammer drill and drill 3 holes that correspond to the 3 anchor holes in the sculpture. I will use 3/8" x 3" wedge anchors to secure sculpture to concrete.​

Statement: Some of the sculpture's details, doors, windows, etc. refer to the Ark, the boat in the Biblical story. It can also be seen as a vessel, a container, a means of transport and protection. The overall design of the sculpture resembles an abstracted boat or ship. It's oxidized finish resembles the rusted hulls of ships, barges and bridges found on our waterways such as the nearby Mississippi River.

#8 - Ascender, Descender, Tractioner

• Painted carbon steel with patina and hot-wax coating to prevent rust run-off
• varied by component up to 12 feet tall by 2.5 feet wide by 2.5 feet deep
• varies by component up to about 150 lb
• $2,300 per sculpture/$6,000 total
  ​​

Installation Plan: These sculptures anchor with 4 half inch or 5/8 inch bolts in the corners of each base plate. These 3 sculptures can be arranged in different configurations based on available space.

Statement: As a native of the Mid-West, agriculture has been a constant throughout my life and in this series, I begin to examine the systems behind the industry. Within this greater agricultural context, I have chosen to explore a specific “system” and form: grain elevators and the conveyor buckets that transport crops and process them. These three sculptures, Ascender, Descender and Tractioner are abstracted interpretations of a grain bucket conveyor system and its various components. Through the abstraction comes a playfulness and the somewhat absurd idea that these machines have a child-like quality and might be having fun performing their work.

#9 - Bare Baer

• Found metal objets
• 124h x 96w x 44d
• 500lbs
• $9,800
  ​​

Installation Plan: Crane and electricity needed to attach to 48" minimum diameter concrete pad with 4 3/8" diameter bolts.

• 90" x 20" x 20"
• 100 lbs
• $3,000
  ​​

  ​​

Installation Plan: 3 expanding masonry bolts through sculpture base.

Statement: Since 2002 I have been designing and fabricating sculptural work either fully or partially composed of iron and steel. The focus of my recent work has been almost exclusively in the utilization of industrial detritus which I alter and/or recombine in such a manner as to create work that is not only resonant and original but manifests the aura of having been created from base raw material, i.e. cast bronze. Of course there is, and should be, at least a subliminal sense of the processed heritage of the metal.

#12 - Caution Pump

• Painted carbon steel with patina and hot-wax coating to prevent rust run-off
• 12 x 4 x 2
• 345 lbs
• $6,400
  ​​

Installation Plan: This sculpture anchors with 4 half inch or 5/8 inch bolts in the corners of the base plate.

Statement: Caution Pump is a fictitious interpretation of man's relationship to machines and our industrial heritage.  It explores our long reliance on machines and factories, but also the cultural impact of industrialization. I pay homage to all types of machines and industrial implements.  In Caution Pump I bring attention to their usefulness, ingenuity and the people who bring them to life and operate them to their fullest potential.  This piece is imbedded with rich surfaces of paint and patina that explores the inevitable passage of time. Through my abstraction comes a playfulness and somewhat absurd idea that real-world machines (and their sculptural counterparts) have childlike qualities; evoking ideas of playfulness, the desire to explore the world, and the joy of just having fun being themselves. 

#13 - Chicago Peace Tree

• Stainless steel and dichroic glass
• 6'H x 4'W x 3'D
• 350 lbs
• $15,000.00
  ​​

Statement: Nicole Beck fuses rhythmic and poetic systems found in nature and the sciences. Peace Tree pays loving homage to the grand Ash Tree with a side-by-side representation of the tree's leaf and canopy- a tree that is sadly being decimated throughout the Midwest by the Emerald Ash Borer. If there is an electric source, the sculpture's interiors can be lit with LEDs- but is not necessary.

  ​​

Installation Plan: 4 expanding masonry bolts through circular sculpture base.

Statement: Since 2002 I have been designing and fabricating sculptural work either fully or partially composed of iron and steel. The focus of my recent work has been almost exclusively in the utilization of industrial detritus which I alter and/or recombine in such a manner as to create work that is not only resonant and original but manifests the aura of having been created from base raw material, i.e. cast bronze. Of course there is, and should be, at least a subliminal sense of the processed heritage of the metal.

  ​​

Installation Plan: The sculpture sits on a square base and can be bolted in 4 locations to the concrete.

Statement:  A contemporary sculpture, consisting of simple, streamlined shapes that are opening up and remind us of wings. It refers to the tremendous transformation a butterfly has to go through. Butterflies are a symbol of transformation, because of their impressive process of metamorphosis.

By observing butterflies, we can relate to our own lives: Each of us transforms through multiple stages in our life: moments of growing pains, times of hunger and vulnerability followed by moments of tremendous energy, growth, wonder and amazement. The artist would like to create an awareness for the decreasing butterfly population.

• 150 lbs
• $4,000
  ​​

Installation Plan: 4 metal bolt hole tabs welded to the base for secure installation with 3/8th inch wedge anchors. 

Statement: I like to work with recycled steel when possible. Here, I've used reclaimed 12 gauge plate steel from the Climax Engine Works in my home town. It's where my father, who taught me how to weld, worked for 40 years. They were tearing the place down. So this figure has a history, as all figures do. 

#21 - Flame of Remembrance​

• Stainless Steel, Cast Aluminum, Painted Steel
• 9'6"H x 30"W x 30"D
• Approx. 275 lbs.
• $8,000.00
  ​​

Installation Plan: 30" Diameter base is bolted directly to concrete through 3 holes in steel tabs.  Uses 3/8"  x 5"  concrete fasteners.

Statement: Traditionally, we have annual remembrances for those long past. HOWEVER, this year we are thrust into a reality where we have many to remember for their sacrifices NOW, not later. So please think of them as you look at my Flame of Remembrance.

• 110 lbs
• $12,500
  ​

#23 - Generations Sustain

• 3/16 and 1/4‚ mild steel with baked on Penny Vein textured finish 
• 8 feet x 33" x 22"
• about 300 lbs
• $8,500
  ​​

Installation Plan: Generations Sustain welds to a 36‚ X24‚ thick steel base. The base has 1/2‚ holes pre-drilled for easy, secure attachment  with 3/8‚ locking anchor bolts to prevent tampering or removal of the sculpture from any  pad.    Washers inserted between the base and cement pad inhibit rusting and allow the sculpture to be easily made plumb on slightly uneven surfaces.  I would require hiring help to  unload and install the sculpture.  No cranes or heavy equipment is needed.  Two  men can help maneuver and install Generations Sustain. I will provide stainless hardware for easy de-install in the Fall.​

Statement: Generations Sustain celebrates our strong past and future.  Past generations are indicted by the largest cut out shape. Generations past are negative- no longer with us. However, as in the sculpture, they literally provide the framework and support of current generations. The present generations are positive forms. The adult is directly cut from the ancestor. The child, as in life,  comes from the adult.  No generation in Generations Sustain or life can stand alone. Each holds and reinforces the other.  The future is indicated by the line- undeveloped figure not yet filled out or completely emerged from the present adult.  We get a glimpse of the future.

In its construction, Generations Sustain addresses the necessity of conservation and the importance of no waste.  It begins as an 8 foot tall sheet metal plate. All elements- the positive, negative and line are used.  There is literally no waste. Thus, the sculptural generations visually and literally conserve to sustain the future. 

The flat elements bend to become a 3D sculpture viewable from all sides.   Generations Sustain engages viewers, looking again through the negative spaces trying to figure out where each generation is cut. The sculpture initiates conversation on conservation and our future. As all Chavenelle sculpture, its minimal design without features, hair, nor garments makes it inclusive- representing all viewers and ethnicity.

​Construction is always high quality since Gail works with a metal fabricator to create/build her design. Hand  marker drawing on metal is translated in Fusion360 and converted to Auto-cad which controlled the laser cutting. She was on the floor directing and collaborating with  metal professionals using the large manufacturing machines to bend, roll, twist and weld the sculpture together.   Safety is always part of the design.  In Generations Sustain, the figures attach securely with no outreaching elements to snag viewers.

Statement: I love the surprise that we get from seeing out of the ordinary things in ordinary places.
​That moment of surprise helps bring awareness to our surroundings and creates an opportunity to reimagine our sense of place. The relationship that these pieces have with the environment communicate to the viewer. It is this connection that helps activate our imagination, which helps us see the world differently. In my most recent work I have been exploring the idea of unity and how we learn to feel connected through new perspectives.

Installation Plan: Concrete Anchor Bolts secure each corner of sculpture base​

Statement:  An abstract rendition of the native wildflower.  The brilliant green color is abundant in spring and is everywhere.  Once summer sets in, the green blends in with the surrounding greens and almost disappears.  Like the brilliant green color of spring, as we age, we too seem to blend into the "surroundings" of society. We may be muted, but our true brilliant core is ever present.

• 150 lbs
• $9,500
  ​
  

Installation Plan: There are 4 tabs at the base of the work that can take 1/2"  concrete anchoring bolts.  ​

Installation Plan: Concrete anchor bolts secured at each corner of base of sculpture​

Statement: Nun/None is an abstract representation of the women who at young ages, took vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and spent their lives serving others.  These women were easily recognized by their flowing, usually black attire.  They educated generations of children, cared for the poor, tended to the elderly, and ran hospitals. I was one of those students educated by these women. My grade school years were shaped and formed by the nuns who tirelessly provided a link in the ‚Äúvillage‚Äù of my childhood.  Today, there are few nuns left thus: "None" and fewer children are educated by them, but their years of service and humility to tend to the needs of others first, will always be remembered by those of us they served. Their example is a reminder of the importance of serving others.

Statement: Off-Set Pump is a fictitious interpretation of man's relationship to machines and our industrial heritage.  It explores our long reliance on machines and factories, but also the cultural impact of industrialization. I pay homage to all types of machines and industrial implements.  In Off-Set Pump I bring attention to their usefulness, ingenuity and the people who bring them to life and operate them to their fullest potential.  This piece is imbedded with rich surfaces of paint and patina that explores the inevitable passage of time.
​Through my abstraction comes a playfulness and somewhat absurd idea that real-world machines (and their sculptural counterparts) have child-like qualities; evoking ideas of playfulness, the desire to explore the world, and the joy of just having fun being themselves.

Statement: The sculpture is a made of five sections which are assembled to suggests architectural column with a wing. The perforated cut-outs in the metal help to frame a pattern of small compositions in the negative spaces. Additionally, the perforations allow light to move through the sculpture that gives the sculpture a life force and vitality. Formal patterns and structures change depending on the viewer and perspective. Natural light illuminates the metallic material and structure sculpture signifies the colors inherent and created in the environment.

• 3"x3"x10"
• 120lbs
• $7,500
  ​​
  

Installation Plan: This sculpture has a stainless steel base with three holes that can accommodate up to 3/8" holes, all fit within a 2"x2" base.  If installing into cement I like to use wedge anchors that install through the top of the base and then tighten down, if installing into steel I drill holes and install with bolts.​​

Statement: Succulent Bloom resembles the leaves of an agave and the bloom of a yucca plant.  The oxidized red contrasts nicely in a green urban environment while the  stainless reflects its environment including the bright blue sky.    

#47 - The Martians Are Coming

• Steel, found objects and cast glass
• 91"x 36"x 36"
• 200 pounds
• $8,800.00
  ​
  

Installation Plan: The Sculpture is to be bolted to a concrete pad. there are 3 points the sculpture comes in contact with the ground and will be attached at those three points. the bolt holes will except 1/2" bolts.​​

Statement: Constructed from steel, found objects and cast glass. There is also a self contained solar light that will turn on at dark and eluminate the sculpture from within. This effect casts light(shadows) onto the surrounding area around the sculpture and will light up the glass portal on either side of the sculpture.  I am very aware of the use of sustainable resources when constructing my art as to the flexibility and portability of this  type of light source. As to the conceptual idea behind this sculpture, I have been intrigued with Rockets for a long time reaching back to nuclear disarmament. "what do you do with the nuclear missiles when they are disarmed? You Make Art out of them!" So with the whole space race to Mars, why not make Martian spaceships. I'm also trying to be reminiscent to mid century SCI FI and create sculpture somewhat in that style.

#48 - This Is Her​

• stainless steel, acrylic, spray paint
• 115" x 46" x 33"
• 500 lbs approx.
• $17,000​
  
  

Installation Plan: Fabricated out of durable gauge stainless steel with four tabs welded to the bottom allowing for easy drilling to set 4 concrete anchors 3/8" or 1/2" into a cement footing.  Installation requires no lifting equipment if a trailer can be backed up to the footing.  If no lifting equipment is available, about five people would be needed to move off the trailer and lift upright.  ​​

Statement: Inspired by classical figurative sculpture along with geologic and Neolithic rock formations, takes a closer look at the individual, the person, and the weight they assume.  The abstracted figurative form exists in a state of perpetual action and reaction as its stainless-steel body constructs and twists under a large, painted, rock-like mass.  The painted, layered histories accumulated atop the figurative form expresses the here and now with the use of applied text and imagery. The text and imagery are suitable for all ages.

• 12'x6'x8'
• 120 lbs
• $4,500
  ​
  

Installation Plan: Installed with 4 3/8" x 5" anchor bolts.​

Statement: Sometimes when things collapse around us, we believe all is lost.  What we realize later, this was the moment we have been waiting for...

• 200 pounds
• $7,800.00
  ​
  

Installation Plan: There is a 3 bolt pattern at the base of the sculpture to be bolted to a concrete pad. the holes will accommodate 1/2" bolt.​

Statement: I have been drawn to the sphere shape and it is a underlying theme seen throughout my art. This sculpture also evokes a sense of movement within the sphere with the shifting of the direction of the splines or ribs.
