Council Bluffs and the new sculptures?

So since I have been home in Iowa, within the first 24 hours I went over to Omaha and saw the new entry way to Council Bluffs area. Council Bluffs is trying to attract new people to come into town by updating the streets, the corners, and bridges. One of the bridges that they are working on right now above I29 is show casing a sculptor from New York. To me for what I know as a designer, you would think they would want to keep a unified system but instead this bridge breaks the system. The colors in person just seem too messy, where if they used only steel(as an example) it would get more depth like the portfolio of Albert Paley. Here is a link to what the sculptures would look like as one color. Here is a news report on the sculpture too, and read the comments to understand more.

Personal Summer Adventures

On my journey through summer, I started off by going to Iowa for 2 weeks, then to Colorado for 1 week, back to Iowa for a day.....this continued.....back to KC and off to Indi for a week with a side trip in there too....back to KC and straight back to Iowa for a few more days.....then finally back to KC to start my summer class in Advance Kiln Glass. Through this class I focused on sustainability and how a piece can show potential in its own form. I kept my designs geared toward modern design of light fixtures, paintings, and shapes. I also did a little research on hangers to look at the many forms it evolved into now. I'll post photos soon enough. As my class is closing to an end, I have realized what I find interesting and should bring more into my work into design. It will be more sustainability, function, and deeper meaning. Photos will be posted soon enough.

As of now I am preparing my work for internships and making a new leave-behind to showcase my work and who I am as a person.
