Book Survey!!

If you have a love for books, please take a moment to complete my survey. The Book Survey is a collection of about 75 books that I have compiled. The books on the list are the top books read for all age groups. I would love your feedback. If you could email me I will send you the document and then you can pick up to 25 of your favorites. These titles will be the titles for the books that make the maze. I would love to know what you consider the best books...Suggestions of books that might have been forgotten are welcomed too!
Email me at sculptor07@aol.com with BOOK LIST in the subject box!

This is my model for the Outdoor Maze! The shape of the maze is a kidney bean. All books will be concrete with titles on each. The three books on exterior are benches and will look different than they do here!

COMING SOON! PUBLIC ART FOR CORDOVA, TN: BY ME!

Dear Viewers,
I am currently working on an outdoor commission for the city of Cordova, TN, through Urban Arts Commission. I will be posting weekly updates until the completion of the project. It is set to be completed in May 2010!

The project is a large outdoor Sculpture behind the Cordova Library on Trinity Rd. The piece will be a 1000 square foot maze of gigantic concrete books. Each book will make up the walls to the maze. If any one wants to suggest book titles please post them here!

I will post pics of the progress as I go. Check back often!
