Homeowner in Redmond, WA installs sculpture for neighborhood and passersby to enjoy!
Ervin Peretz contacted me through my website to acquire Joie de Vivre. He had learned of my sculptures through an online search.
Ervin has a stone wall, which borders his property and runs alongside busy West Lake Sammamish Parkway.
He envisioned a sculpture standing on the stone column that would be an upbeat statement and highly visible.
I agreed with his proposal that the 4 foot high column was a perfect plinth for Joie de Vivre.
Yet, to solidly anchor the sculpture on top of the column, the installation was quite complex.
Once installed, she is seen perched atop as though she just climbed up there!
Lush green provides the backdrop for viewing the sculpture.
In the background, is NE 24th Street, which terminates at W. Lake Sammamish Parkway.
If you find yourself on West Lake Sammamish Parkway in Redmond, Washington, savor the joyful image that Ervin Peretz has gifted to the neighborhood and to passersby!
It was quite an interesting project to install the 150# sculpture on top of the stone column, which included boring deep holes into the column to anchor the sculpture. Ervin Peretz was great to collaborate with to arrive at a successful result!
