I would like to propose a new public sculpture in Blunn Creek Preserve. This project would spruce up a small area of the preserve which would bring in many new visitors that normally would not come to Blunn Creek. I propose a small, shaded area be designated a picnic area featuring my sculpture. The concept of my sculpture is that it will be a water feature that is an abstract representation of the water cycle. large ceramic fountain, sculpture would also serve as a bird bath so that visitors could watch birds. And in effect the wildlife would become part of the piece. I originally wanted to use stainless steel for this piece, but the reflective metal would scare birds off. So I decided to go with ceramic with a blue glaze (pictured above) The pump would be solar powered, and the water would be filtered each time it cycles though the system, much like the natural water cycle.
