roll across table hits floor scatter
out door
no strings attached.

The seven sculptures by San Diego artist Anne Mudge comprising Littoral Drift are variations on a theme. Their delicately woven upper expanses contrast with darkly attenuated stems, where densely wrapped nodes suggestive of a generative principle protrude and trail off into space. The symmetrical geometries of the frameworks are offset by the randomness of hand-woven skins stretched tautly across them. Together, canopy and stem are expressions of light and dark, earth and air, contraction and release, and suggest any number of biological forms, whether aquatic or terrestrial. See photos and larger video at Anne's page.
A (tiny) island at the edge of the Village area of La Mesa was chosen for a public art work celebrating La Mesa's Centennial. The committee wanted something that would relate to the Village thematically, incorporate a historical element, a donor recognition area and a time capsule, plus be art. It's on La Mesa Blvd, which was originally called Lookout Avenue. It may change somewhat before it's finally built. There's an optional seatwall indicated. The bronze snail is a playful historical reference to Helix aspersa, the snail discovered in the area in the 1800's which inspired the naming of nearby Mount Helix. Learn more about Mary Lynn Dominguez or download the proposal (great images!).

With six new stations in five cities coming your way in 2015, we wanted to introduce you to the process by which the Authority selected the artists that will make each station unique. This 15-minute video explains the role of public art in existing Gold Line Stations (from Union Station to Pasadena) as well as provides an overview of the themes and elements of the art that will be integrated into the stations along the Foothill Extension from Pasadena to Azusa. Visit Robin's profile page or watch the video.
