Item 4D-3 WEISBECK DESIGN "Remembrance and Renewal" 9-11 Memorial Sculpture Project Proposal Prepared for: Liberty Gardens Bicentennial Park Project/ Southlake, Texas Public Art Prepared by: Weisbeck Design, Diane and Mark Weisbeck April 8, 2022 Project Details Title: Remembrance and Renewal Medium: 304 Grade Stainless Steel square tube, 204 Brass strip, 304 Grade Stainless Steel strip. These materials do not rust, fade or deteriorate. Finish: Circular textured patterned stainless steel. Lightly textured brass with "Statue of Liberty" green patina. Clear coat. Scale: Two "towers," each, 15'H x 3' W x 3' D, with one foot separation between towers. Approx. T total width. Weight: Approx. 1600 lbs. Base: Two 38" x 38" x .50 inch thick 304 Stainless Steel plates. One base plate welded and integral to each tower. Threaded stainless steel studs and nuts to be set during the leveling, resurfacing of the raised concrete pad prior to Item 4D-4 installation. A subtle, marbleized pad would be an attractive, natural design element, similar in pattern to the base of the model sent to the Arts Council. Bolt patterns in base plates to be determined by structural engineer. Actual, full size templates for the bolt patterns will be provided by Weisbeck Design. Location: Liberty Gardens, Bicentennial Park, Southlake, TX Description We have recognized that "Remembrance and Renewal" 9-11 Memorial Sculpture will coexist in perfect harmony with all of the other sculptural works in Southlake. All share one unifying theme: they are all uplifting and positive, regardless of the style or theme and all exist within a joyful environment. Symbolic meaning of the sculpture: "Remembrance and Renewal," Iconic, stylized frames representing the two towers of the World Trade Center stand tall, elegant and proud against the sky. Within the texturized stainless steel frames, natural patina green and shining silver "leaves" gracefully twist and reach to the sky, signifying the continual beauty, growth and renewal we receive from Mother Nature. The circular texture pattern that will be applied to all of the stainless steel elements will reflect the sun and create an ever changing brilliant pattern based on the movement of the sun. We have sent an actual sample of the texturized stainless steel so you can directly witness how the sunlight reflects and shines on the surface. Nature as the ultimate healer is a principal theme for this sculpture, so we felt it was important that the sun, which gives life to this planet we all share, participate in the sculpture experience. We have also built and sent to you a scale model of the sculpture so you can hold up "Remembrance and Renewal" in Liberty Gardens and see how the sculpture will balance the space once installed onto the circular pad on site. The sculpture invites the viewer to celebrate with love and honor all those lost and affected by the events of 9-11, and pay tribute to those people and loved ones in a positive, hopeful and compassionate manner. The sculpture invites contemplation and healing within the beautiful gardens and would be a landmark signature sculpture for working toward harmony, goodwill and peace around the world. The sculpture stands as a testament to no matter what actions of terror are created, there will always be citizens who will stand against it and work toward friendship, understanding and peace to make the world a better place for all. "Remembrance and Renewal" would not only become a destination point for Southlake, but an important landmark legacy sculpture for the world. Diane Weisbeck in cherry picker cutting the ribbons during the unveiling ceremony of "Water Spirits," 33 ft., created for the NYSDOS as the signature sculpture for the city of Rochester, NY. The patina used is "Statue of Liberty" green. Item 4D-5 "Water Spirits" installed, Diane Weisbeck standing next to sculpture. The water vessel is gold dyed stainless steel imported from Japan. Weisbeck Design was commissioned by the NYSDOT to create 12 "Bridge Flowers" for three newly built bridges in Rochester, NY. The "Bridge Flowers" were both sculptural art elements as well as architectural lighting and placed atop the 12 pylons of all three bridges. The perforated brass "leaves" are patinaed. Item 4D-6 "Blast Off!" rocket, 14 ft. sculpture created for the entrance to the Cradle of Aviation Museum, Garden City, Long Island, NY. The stainless steel rocket "plumes" are texturized in an irregular pattern and catch the light. This is a different pattern than the circular pattern that will be used for "Remembrance and Renewal."

ARTIST PROPOSAL: Prepared for: Liberty Gardens Bicentennial Park Project/ Southlake, Texas Public Art Program Prepared by: Weisbeck Design, Diane and Mark Weisbeck Project Details: Title: Remembrance and Renewal Medium: 304 Grade Stainless Steel square tube, 204 Brass strip, 304 Grade Stainless Steel strip. These materials do not rust, fade or deteriorate. Finish: Circular textured patterned stainless steel. Lightly textured brass with "Statue of Liberty" green patina. Clear coat. Scale: Two "towers," each, 15'H x 3' W x 3' D, with one foot separation between towers. Approx. 7' total width. Weight: Approx. 1600 lbs. Base: Two 38" x 38" x .50 inch thick 304 Stainless Steel plates. One base plate welded and integral to each tower. Threaded stainless steel studs and nuts to be set during the leveling, resurfacing of the raised concrete pad prior to Item 4D-25 installation. A subtle, marbleized pad would be an attractive, natural design element, similar in pattern to the base of the model sent to the Arts Council. Bolt patterns in base plates to be determined by structural engineer. Actual, full size templates for the bolt patterns will be provided by Weisbeck Design. Location: Liberty Gardens, Bicentennial Park, Southlake, TX Description: We have recognized that "Remembrance and Renewal" 9-11 Memorial Sculpture will coexist in perfect harmony with all of the other sculptural works in Southlake. All share one unifying theme: they are all uplifting and positive, regardless of the style or theme and all exist within a joyful environment. Symbolic meaning of the sculpture: "Remembrance and Renewal," Iconic, stylized frames representing the two towers of the World Trade Center stand tall, elegant and proud against the sky. Within the texturized stainless -steel frames, natural patina green and shining silver "leaves" gracefully twist and reach to the sky, signifying the continual beauty, growth, and renewal we receive from Mother Nature. The circular texture pattern that will be applied to all of the stainless -steel elements will reflect the sun and create an ever -changing brilliant pattern based on the movement of the sun. We have sent an actual sample of the texturized stainless steel so you can directly witness how the sunlight reflects and shines on the surface. Nature as the ultimate healer is a principal theme for this sculpture, so we felt it was important that the sun, which gives life to this planet we all share, participate in the sculpture experience. The sculpture invites the viewer to celebrate with love and honor all those lost and affected by the events of 9-11 and pay tribute to those people and loved ones in a positive, hopeful and compassionate manner. The sculpture invites contemplation and healing within the beautiful gardens and would be a landmark signature sculpture for working toward harmony, goodwill and peace around the world. The sculpture stands as a testament to no matter what actions of terror are created, there will always be citizens who will stand against it and work toward friendship, understanding and peace to make the world a better place for all. "Remembrance and Renewal" would not only become a destination point for Southlake, but an important landmark legacy sculpture for the world.
