I would be blessed to be given the opportunity to design a sculpture for the city of Southlake's Department of Public Safety West Facility, to pay tribute to those who honor and dedicate their lives to the public heartbeat. We must celebrate all that life has to offer in the hope that we can grow stronger both individually and as a community. The elements of my work are process, balance, and a quest for a personal visual language. Through my search for truth and beauty I strive to make my work straightforward and elegant. The intersection of my appreciation for material with my love of form is what my work is about. Metal is my medium of choice; the durability and malleability it offers is peerless. Using the latest technological advances available, I design, cut, and weld metal shapes into my sculptural flights of fancy. One distinguishing aspect of my artwork is my attention to detail, driven by my spiritual connection to the majesty of the nature surrounding me. I believe that observation and awareness lead to love of place. Public art can affect our happiness and well-being. It allows us to take responsibility for the environment in which we work, and hopefully for the people with whom we interact. My desire is to continue my mission of spreading beauty, to offer people a sense of hope, and to celebrate our connection with others and the world around us. My reflections on nature have inspired my recent commissions for the cities of Fort Worth and Denton,Texas. The outdoor sculpture for Fort Worth celebrates the legacy of the community. The concept is inspired by the cycles of a flower - planting a seed, establishing roots, and growing a bountiful life. This sculpture can be viewed and appreciated from multiple directions as pedestrians approach the building entrance. Made of stainless steel, these three flower forms are low maintenance, and create a dialog with the colorful walls of the building, serving as a beacon where the community can gather together and rest. The sculpture for Denton was placed in a roundabout. The locale inspired me to create a piece inspired by Sirius, a star that is made up of two stars spinning around each other, similar to the way cars travel in a rotary. Currently I am working on a sculpture for the city of Sugar Land, Texas. It is inspired by the ephemeral flowers of the dogwood tree that are native to the area.

They are not a final design. I am imagining a vertical form that is inspired by nature to celebrate the beauty of Southlake. This tall sculpture will be visible from a distance, and serve as a landmark for the facility. The sculpture will consist of two parts. The bottom part will be of an abstracted rock inspired form. The rock is symbolic of strength, solidity, and permanence. Springing from the top of the rock form will be planes of curved metal panels representing water or fire, two of the natural phenomena key to the development of humankind. The form is open to each individual's interpretation. Some may see a water fountain, others an eternal flame. Shapes reminiscent of the shields of Southlake's fire and police departments will serve as buttresses to support the vertical paddle shapes. A drone's eye view will show a six petal rosette designed at the top of the sculpture. This shape is a symbol of strength and integrity, two characteristics necessary for a strong police and fire department, as well as for a strong community. The budget is $100,000. This is for an approximately 177" H x 92" x 92" stainless steel sculpture. The 12' tall sculpture will be placed on a 32" tall concrete base. The sculpture will be secured with concrete anchor bolts to the concrete pad.

Iwo 4w Aslum-1 ARTISTS STATEMENT PUBLIC ARTAPPROACH I am very excited by the possibility of working with your art committee in its public art search for the Department of Public Safety West Facility. I can envision my work fitting this site with ease. My style is representational in cast bronze. It is my intention to create lasting depictions of life for the community through a combined effort of the client's vision with my own. While I am open to considering many concepts involving the human figure, I am particularly drawn to capturing subjects in motion. Movement, after all, is what captures our attention. Children at play and athletes in motion are my favorite subjects because of the passion for life they demonstrate. It is a constant and captivating challenge to sculpt these qualities and pass that on to the viewer. When developing each new sculpture my primary concern is artistic integrity. This central theme of celebrating life that flows through my artwork directly ties into the objectives of your site, and builds on a message of health and life-long learning through discovery. Among my most significant public works are the full -figure bronze portrait of Ralph L. Carr for the new Judicial Center in Denver; Harmony a site specific bronze of two figures fly-fishing for a corporate lobby in Salt Lake City; Appalachian Dancers, comprised of six bronze figures depicting dancers and musicians placed on the city plaza in Asheville, NC; and a whimsical 16-ft high bronze of the fable Jack and the Beanstalk, towering the botanical gardens in Hawaii. As a Charter Member I am part owner of the National Sculptors' Guild which was founded by artists in 1992. With over 30 years of experience placing 550 plus significant public monuments in cities, municipalities, corporations and private institutions across the country it remains an artist -driven organization. Drawing upon the shared resources of the Guild's design team saves me time, energy and money that can better be spent on the artwork itself. Our team works closely together with the client to ensure my vision is actualized and is a sound placement that all may be proud of. My approach is to work with JK Designs and the National Sculptors' Guild along with representatives from your committee, in a team design format to further develop the design and placement within the site so that it may be enjoyed for generations to come.

For this site, we wish to place a Deputy Sheriff that Gary is currently finishing. This Sheriff joins Gary's Firefighter and Peace Officer in the collection and would maintain a cohesion amongst the artwork repre- senting the Southlake DPS. It is sculpted in the same detail and style. It is important to represent female officers for inclusivity and to ex- tend the thought to the next generation, that they may admire all first responders and aspire to play a positive role in society themselves. The insignia on the uniform will be custom sculpted to match Southlake's badges. We will work with the committee to ensure we have the proper, current badges to work from. This element is achieved in the wax stage of the casting process, making this piece unique to the City of Southlake. Because this sculpture is already sculpted, this composition will be avail- able for installation in less than a year. Site is approximated, we are open to developing this in the next phase with input from the committee. Tying it into both the sidewalk and the drive makes it accessible and inviting and still visible from vehicles. 110% life-sized, ~74" tall x 26" wide x 20" deep + 6-8" high base Museum Quality Bronze on Sandstone GARY ALSUM I THE NATIONAL SCULPTORS' GUILD PO Box 848 1 Loveland, Colorado 80539 1 (970) 667.2015 Gary@NationaISculptorsGuild.com I IK-Designs-Inc.com Aslum-7 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY WEST FACILITY BUDGET WITH HONOR 1 110% $84,500 artist fee, stainless steel substructure, bronze casting, chasing, patina, lacquer, wax leering $2,000 stamped structural engineering $4,000 excavation and pouring of engineered footings and sandstone base ackaging $1,000 cradle to support artwork during transport ansport $2,500 transport of artwork and stone to site lation $2,000 fasteners, hilti epoxy, crane and labor 1 $3,000 up to 2 trips: for site work and installation (artist and/or nsg director) ct Insurance $1,000 comprehensive coverage AL $100,000* valid until December 22, 2023** ig final design, plus or minus options, material and/or labor increases. tal bids will be requoted on a monthly basis after initial deadline until executed contract with deposit is received.

Once patinaed, the bronze will be sealed with exterior -grade lacquer to protect the finish. Cast in Colorado under artist's supervision The inner structural support in bronze is stainless steel. STONE: DAKOTA SANDSTONE is our desired stone for this installation for its strength and color to comple- ment the building. CONCRETE: footings will be constructed from this material, poured on -site by local subcontractors to engineered specs. SAFETY To ensure utmost safety to the public, the artwork will be created and installed in accordance with certified engineering plans specific to the site, which include strict seismic standards. Our Structural Engineers are licensed in 48 states. We have utilized this team in a majority of our public artwork placements for the past 25 years. All aspects of the design, construction and installation of the artwork will follow certified structural engineering plans and the placement will comply with all ADA require- ments. We intend to utilize local subcontractors to implement the design where appropriate. INSTALLATION: Shall be as noninvasive to the site and surroundings as possible. We have the experience of placing over 525 significant public monuments across the country. We over -see licensed local sub -contractors for any on -site work which is dependant upon the unique specifications and needs of each project. Once requirements are set by the engineering, we coordinate the site preparation and installation dates. Site work/Landscaping will be installed prior to the artwork. Structural footings must cure a minimum of 3 weeks prior to installation of the artwork. The artwork is transported to the site via a contracted trucking company, and installed with the use of a locally sourced crane operator according the engineering plan. MAINTENANCE: Long-term maintenance for the bronze figures will consist of a twice -annual washing and waxing to en- hance the lacquer's integrity and keep the artwork looking its best for decades. Complete instructions for this process will accompany the artwork along with a list of proven conservators. INSURANCE: Comprehensive Coverage will be verified and the commissioning agency will be listed as "additional insured" by a Certificate of Liability Insurance statement covering up to $2 million dollars during fabrication, transport, installation; plus up to 5 years post installation.

Dear Southlake Arts Council, Please consider us applicants for the Department of Public Safety West Facility call to artists. We are Jhonattan and Samantha Arango, a multidisciplinary husband and wife artist team hailing from South Florida. Our practice leans on sculptural mural installations and utilizes only triangles to create organic, complex shapes that are three-dimensional in appearance. Rooted in an understanding of public art as a public service, we believe we can bring an iconic, highly engaging mural installation that will successfully convey your message and further beautify Southlake. With BFAs in graphic design and over ten years of branding experience we know how to focus on the message and take brand sensitivities —such as existing colors and structural surroundings —into account when creating artwork. Our proposal consists of creating a site specific, free-standing sculptural wall to house a full-length, double -sided mural that can be partially painted by the community and DIPS staff. Besides making solo murals, we work with a highly tailored community format that allows for audiences to paint murals together, regardless of age or skill level, while still achieving professional results. In a way, our process yields a sort of mental real estate comparable to tangible ownership; it turns a public space into "our space —the place where I collaborated with others." Beyond creating a beautiful, highly visible piece of art, we feel the community process further connects the artwork to the people it serves. We developed our style with distance -viewing in mind. From up close, the shapes can be appreciated as geometric clusters without any pressure for meaning; from a distance, the lines blur and a fluid, visually sculptural narrative can be appreciated in its entirety. The multiple angles of the wall will invite public engagement and allow for unique perspectives to those traveling by various forms of transportation. This installation would be a truly one -of -a -kind, community -created landmark with great visibility and a high level of execution. Our body of work includes over 35 murals throughout the U.S., often in partnerships with public organizations like BIDs, Main Streets, AIPPs, and Art Foundation programs. We have also facilitated about 13 large scale community projects and the experience is consistently wonderful beyond words. Our work was recently selected for WESTAF's Public Art Archive's decadal "Have You Seen My Public Art" map, and has been featured in Forbes' "5 Reasons Palm Beach is a Cultural Destination." In addition to murals, our studio art has been showcased in galleries and art fairs such as Miami Art Basel and Aqua Art Miami. Thank you kindly for this opportunity to share our scope of work with you, and we hope we can bring an amazing piece of public art to the DIPS West Facility site and the people of Southlake.

It works as a paint -by -number system. All triangles are created with 118" artist tape, and then primed with clear primer to prevent bleed (paint "bleeding" under the tape.) When the person comes up to paint, they will notice all triangles are numbered, and will be asked to select the (also numbered) paint jar corresponding to that triangle. It's an easy, effective system, and people can paint as much as they want of the same or different colors. WHO CAN PAINT? Guests, passersby, children, adults, etc. Anyone that is able to hold a brush can paint. HOW MANY CAN PAINT AT A TIME? An adequate portion of the mural will be ready so that many people can paint at the some time. ANY SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS? Only to come ready to paint! Only to came ready to paint! There are no special rules or considerations other than to have fun and enjoy the process. WHAT IF SOMEONE PAINTS OUTSIDE THE LINES/ MAKES A MISTAKE? We created this system with general participation in mind. In the all -toe -common case of someone painting outside the lines, because of a number of fail -safes we can easily touch-up any area afterwards. We encourage people to have fun and not worry about making mistakes, as everything is fixable. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SET UP AND COMPLETE? The mural production starts well in advance of event in order to have it ready far a designated Community Painting Day(s). After the community painting session, we touch-up the entire mural before sealing to ensure all painted areas have proper coverage. IS IT DIFFERENT THAN A SOLO MURAL, QUALITY WISE? The quality never suffers on a community mural. In fact, the community areas are indistinguishable from any other part of the mural. The design can be very complex and still be accessible to an eager two -year - old with a brush. The paint -by -number ensures the colors are exactly where they should be, and the fail - safes ensure that any error can be easily mended. IS THE MURAL FINISHED FASTER SINCE THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WORKING ON 1T? Historically, it takes us one to two days longer, since we look over every triangle before sealing it, touching -up anything that needs correction along the way.

Above the tape I use a primer to create an isolation layer between the wall and the paint. The paint is mixed with an acrylic specialty polymer that promotes better adhesion and film integrity, and gives the paint a much harder consistency when it dries. A paint fuser and UVLS sealer is applied upon finishing, which provides increased resistance to the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. I use this method to ensure the maximum protection and color retention for outdoor murals. Touch ups can be arranged as needed. Dear Selection Committee, I am writing to express my strong interest in contributing to the public art project for the Department of Public Safety West Facility in Southlake, Texas. My name is Jessica Bell, and I am a dedicated public and community artist with a proven track record of creating meaningful and impactful works of art. I am confident that my experience and artistic vision align with the goals and aspirations of this project. My journey as a public artist has been marked by a deep commitment to engaging with communities and creating artwork that resonates with the public. I have had the privilege of working on a variety of public art projects that have enriched the visual environments of diverse communities. Notable among these projects are my contributions to Amli Fountain Place, UTSW Medical Center, Eastern New Mexico University, and Emory Hospital in Atlanta. These experiences have equipped me with the skills and insights necessary to create art that not only complements architectural designs but also enriches the quality of life for residents and visitors alike. The Southlake Arts Council's mission to enhance the visual environment of Southlake aligns perfectly with my own artistic goals. I believe that public art has the power to create a unique sense of place, improve entryways into a city, and promote a distinctive community character. My work as a public artist has always been driven by the desire to engage with the community and create art that reflects its values and aspirations. For the Department of Public Safety West Facility project, I am excited to embrace the challenge of featuring a public safety theme that pays tribute to the dedicated professionals in the police and fire departments. My commitment to producing high -quality art that is durable, low maintenance, and visually appealing is unwavering. I understand the importance of creating artwork that not only stands as a testament to the integrity of the Department of Public Safety but also enriches the lives of those who encounter it. Furthermore, I am eager to ensure that the artwork is visible from Southlake Boulevard, becoming a prominent and engaging feature of the community. I firmly believe that public art should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also serve as a source of inspiration, dialogue, and community pride. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of collaborating with you to enhance the visual environment of Southlake through art.

Jessica Bell is a contemporary sculptor and commu- nity artist whose work merges traditional techniques with modern designs. With a focus on themes of race, identity, and societal concerns, her creations resonate deeply. Bell employs an innovative approach, assem- bling smaller elements to construct expansive instal- lations that convey her messages powerfully. In her current artistic phase, Bell is passionate about public art that mirrors her personal voy- age into motherhood. Her works are not merely visual; they are narratives that engage viewers on multiple levels, encouraging them to delve deeper into the underlying meanings. Employing playful iconography and everyday objects, often overlooked, Bell skillfully entices observers to examine her art more closely, unveiling intricate layers of significance. Bell's artistic expression is arresting, playful, and luxuriant in its use of materials. Her creative prowess has been recognized with accolades including the Red Bull Artist Grant, the Priscilla Art Award, and the Juanita Craft Artist Residency. Over the span of her career, she has been the beneficiary of numerous artist grants to support her community engagement, attesting to the im- pact of her contributions to the artistic landscape. Her artistic influence extends to both public and private spheres, as her pieces grace private col- lections, including those at UT Southwestern Medical Center, Amli Fountain Place Dallas, East- ern New Mexico University, and Emory Hospital in Atlanta. Educationally accomplished, Bell holds a Master of Science in Education with a concentration in Ceramics and Curriculum Writing. She earned her Bachelor's degree in Art Education and Fine Arts and has certifications in Graphic Design and Welding. Her dedication to nurturing artistic talent is further reflected in her role as a sculptor professor at the Booker T.

Southlake Blvd, Southlake, TX 76092. The envisioned sculpture, titled "Echelon of Unity," is intended to honor the devoted service men and women safeguarding the vibrant community of Southlake. This monumental sculpture is designed to integrate with the building's architecture, amplifying its essence and serving as a unified tribute to both the dedicated service personnel and the resilient community they protect. The title "Echelon of Unity" directly aligns with the work of police officers and firefighters. These professionals operate in a structured and organized manner within their respective hierarchies and roles. Each level of their organization plays a vital part in maintaining safety and security within the community, akin to echelons in a broader sense. Just as in a military echelon where different ranks and roles work in unison to achieve a common goal, police officers and firefighters, with their specific roles and responsibilities, form an interconnected network that works towards the safety and well-being of the community. The collaboration and coordination between various levels of command and service are crucial for the effective response to emergencies and maintenance of public safety. Therefore, the title "Echelon of Unity" reflects the layered and coordinated effort of these professionals, highlighting their dedication, teamwork, and strategic coordination in ensuring the safety and security of the community. It embodies the idea that unity in their actions, each 'echelon' contributing to the whole, is the cornerstone of their success and effectiveness in their critical roles. With a focus on enhancing the quality of life and visual environment for all residents and visitors of the city, I have dedicated considerable time and effort in crafting two distinct yet complementary design concepts. These proposals not only embody artistic vision but also seek to reflect the mission and values of the City of Southlake while conveying the integrity of the Department of Public Safety police and fire professionals. The enclosed proposals embody a harmonious fusion of artistic vision and a deep understanding of the aspirations outlined in the public art project description. One design adopts a horizontal composition, effectively integrating with the architectural elements of the facility while making a profound visual impact, enhancing the building's essence. Borders-2 The other design, presented in a vertical composition, offers an alternative perspective, equally captivating and designed to draw attention to and complement the building's vertical features. I wish to clarify that the enclosed proposals present two design concepts as options for your consideration. It is my intention to provide a choice that best aligns with your vision and objectives for this project. The budget provided of $100,000 will cover whichever concept is selected. The ultimate decision on the design to be realized will, of course, rest with the City of Southlake and its esteemed team. The first sculpture boasts a masterful horizontal composition, in relationship with the building's architecture. Firmly rooted in the ground, and securely bolted to a concrete footing, of 4ft. wide by 16 ft. in length. The sculpture will be 6ft. wide by 15ft. in length, and a height of 1Oft. Illuminating the sculpture with strategically placed lights adds a captivating dimension. This thoughtful inclusion of lighting elements is envisioned to transform the sculpture into a mesmerizing spectacle after nightfall. It will enrich the visual landscape for both residents and visitors alike, ensuring the sculpture's visibility and appeal during both day and night. The second sculpture is a vertical composition that corresponds to the facility's front entrance tower. This vertical sculpture embodies the spirit of progress and community upliftment. Consisting of two striking vertical forms, it symbolizes the potential growth and soaring spirit within the community. The upright forms stand resilient, representing strength and confidence as they stand shoulder to shoulder, collaborating to safeguard and protect the community. Together, they serve as a profound testament to unity, resilience, and the collective determination to reach greater heights. It is envisioned as a beacon to stand at an impressive height of 20 ft. towering above visual static such as trees, light poles, etc. With dimensions measuring 6 ft. in length and 6 ft. in width, this sculpture embodies a majestic presence, capturing the attention and admiration of all who encounter it. This piece would also be illuminated as mentioned for the horizontal concept. Embedded within this artistic endeavor are symbolic representations paying homage to the unwavering dedication and integrity of the Department of Public Safety, specifically the brave police officers and firefighters. Both sculptural concepts embody 12 stars, representing the valiant police force, and an equal number of Maltese Crosses, symbolizing the courageous firefighters. Nestled within this portrayal is a symbolic sphere, embodying the community and cradled by the protective embrace of the Maltese crosses and stars. A unifying ring represents the Borders-3 essence of a cohesive city, bringing together its protectors and citizens. This symbolic composition totals 24 elements, signifying the 24 years since the building's inauguration in May 2000. This is a tribute, a celebration, and a timeless embodiment of honor and unity. This sculpture will be crafted utilizing fabricated marine grade aluminum, with a silver metallic powder coated industrial finish. It is extremely durable and practically no maintenance as well as weather resistant. This sculpture encapsulates the spirit of "Courage and Honor in Sacrifice and Service." It stands as a powerful statement of presence, a cohesive force, a symbol of community, and a cherished landmark that unites all who encounter it. In line with the requirements, I have enclosed my artist statement below, reflecting my dedication to public art and the artistic journey that fuels my passion for creating meaningful and engaging sculptures. I remain at your disposal to provide any additional information, clarification, or further insight into the proposed designs to assist in making an informed decision. Please note that I have not had the opportunity to visit the site and have used the pictures attached in the proposal. If chosen, I look forward to discussing the sculpture's design and relation to the site in further detail. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to the transformation of public spaces and to bring this artistic vision to life at The Public Safety West Facility in the City of Southlake.

I am excited about this project because I feel my work and expertise can greatly benefit this project. I am a traditional representational figure sculptor. Bronze will be a great material for this project as it is strong and durable and lasts well in any kind of weather. It is also a classic material for public statues. I have experience with several Public Works as evidenced in my resume; I have also been a finalist for various public art sculpture projects and have experience creating in depth proposals for various projects, which include making renderings and scale models, as well as itemized budgets. My experience in public art has allowed me to create art for specific locations including Libraries, Schools, Parks, City Halls, Fire Stations, and Police Stations, and Roundabouts. An educator at heart, I make it a point to include an educational element to every public work I undertake. If chosen for this project I wish to visit local high school classes and talk to them about the project to raise awareness and inspire future makers and patrons of art. I am eager to use my experience and expertise to create a proposal and ultimately execute this project and see my proposal become a reality. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am the proud owner of Innovative Sculpture Design LLC, a design and fabrication studio specializing in site -specific sculpture works in a variety of formats ranging from smaller residential installations to monumental public art and commercial art installations. After graduating from UCA I opened Innovative Sculpture Studio in Little Rock, AR, where I have now been creating sculpture for almost 10 years. The studio is 8000sq ft and is set up for simultaneous produc- tion of monumental works. I currently have a team of full-time assistants that are trained in all stages of fabrication and finishing. My work can be found in permanent collections in over 25 states and 3 countries. My ability to work with curators, designers, and clients to produce world -class artwork that is both dynamic and place making can be seen in my body of work. Most of my projects are one of a kind, site -specific works designed with the intent to beautify the space they live in. A few years ago I was honored to create a sculpture for Park Village Shopping Center. I would love the opportunity to work with the City of Southlake once more. I have submitted multiple designs in my project proposal. There is flexibility with scale, finish, and base proportions/finish if needed. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Colorado Dr. Denver, CO 80224 www.michaelclgpperstudios.com - 303-521-2044 — mike(a michaelclgpperstudios.com Dear Committee Members, I am offering my qualifications for, and interest in, creating a site -specific work of art for your site at the new Public Safety Facility in Southlake. I strive to create sculpture and sculptural installations that serve as interpretive beacons for their host sites, and it would be an honor to work with you on this project. I have successfully completed other projects for first responders, and I would look forward to creating a meaningful work of art that demonstrates the commitment of the men and women first responders in Southlake. Our experience in public art includes creating over 37 public art installations made from stone, steel, light and glass for host agencies in various cities throughout the United States and abroad. I have used the same fabricators, graphic designer, water jet cutters and engineer for the past couple of decades; we work as a team. As lead designer and project manager, I maintain an excellent record of communicating with design professionals, arts administrators and community groups, as well as with architects, landscape architects, engineers and project managers. Without exception, all of our projects have come in on -time and within the stated budget. My artistic approach is that public art is a visual way of communicating the core emotion or essence of any given place or situation. I strive to produce visual gestures that evoke reactions at a glance; imagery that makes a visceral connection upon first sight. I also like to incorporate a secondary level of interest into my work. This can include iconography of cultural, historical or site -specific significance that the viewer discovers in the work after approaching the piece, or after a period of contemplation. Though my art abstracts elements from nature, as well as the built environment, all of the forms that you see in my portfolio are a direct reaction to my research of the site.

Colorado Dr. Denver, CO 80224 Narrative of the Sculpture "Guardians" The concept behind my proposed sculpture for the new Public Safety Center in Southlake is two -fold. First off, it speaks to the interconnectedness between the two agencies and the community they serve. Second, it speaks to the concept of protection. The sculpture is also meant to serve as a beacon of pride for the two agencies. The concept of two agencies protecting the community is visually apparent in the design. To illustrate this concept, I plan to create a sculpture that will consist of a tall, modernist stele of stone. Carved into the stone element (and colored with monument ink) will be an accurate depiction of the waterway in the immediate area, along with a street map of the surrounding area. This element of the piece is meant as a metaphor for the community that the new safety center will serve. Surrounding the stone element will be a composition made from a stainless steel, semi- transparent element. Placed upon this element will be two polished, stainless -steel shields that are highlighted in red and blue. One of the shields will represent the Police Department and one will represent the Fire Department. This composition will surround the stone, (community) effectively creating a protective barrier, while at the same time serving as a metaphor for interconnecting with the community. They will surround the vertical stone element at an acute angle. The bottom of the ring will touch the ground a few feet in front of the stone. The top of the ring will pass behind the stone element, The composition will be approximately 12.5' tall x 10' wide x 4" deep. This seems a good scale for photo opportunities for the members of the departments as well as for the citizens of Southlake. The artwork will require virtually no maintenance as it will be made from stone and stainless steel. My past experience with designs at Fire Stations has shown that there isn't any real concern for climbing, or for graffiti, as the location is directly in front of the Police Station. I hope you share my vision of creating a powerful work of art for the new Public Safety Facility. I feel that this design offers the citizens of Southlake timeless simplicity, combined with site specific iconography, that speaks to the protection of the community of Southlake.

Our goal is to bring together star artists and star designers that share the same vision: creating iconic artwork that adds emotion to towns and cities. We have created numerous examples of memorable public art that shapes the look and feel of cities in order to enhance the quality of life for residents. This project aligns with our artistic philosophy to inspire unity in our neighborhoods and honor those who help serve the community. We are ready to bring our studio's creativity and passion to this project, in order to design and install a large-scale artwork at the Department of Public Safety West Facility in Southlake, Texas. DiBari and Associates has recently completed relevant projects, including large-scale installations, kinetic works, landscape features, dynamic lighting, and works honoring specific groups of people. Stemming from the culture and peculiarities of their locations, our work converts sites into memorable destinations for visitors and iconic places of pride for local residents. Throughout our previous work, we have continually strived for a balance that allows people from all walks of life to enjoy our artwork. Creating an equilibrium between classic and contemporary, brash and subtle, abstract and realistic, will ensure the longevity of each piece and its ability to speak to everyone within the diverse group of residents and visitors of Southlake. In the end, we aim to present not just art, but transformative experiences that meld with their natural and cultural environment, commenting on our place within them. Community outreach is an integral part of our studio's design process and the first step in collaborating with the local residents. On previous public artworks, outreach and historic research have positively changed the trajectory of some pieces and have given us confidence that we are better speaking to residents. Our goal on this project will be to use these processes to tap into the powerful emotions of Southlake inhabitants, and visually represent the devoted work of the local Police and Fire Departments in protecting these citizens while reflecting the mission and values of the City of Southlake. To further promote the unique character of the locations in which our art is installed, we often choose colors and symbols that weave layers of meaning into the interpretation of each piece. We foresee success on this project deriving from optimizing visibility from Southlake Boulevard in order to draw people closer to consider the motifs based on the Police and Fire Departments and many other multilayered details. We use various strategies, from massive figures to dreamlike imagery, in order to elicit an initial reaction of awe. Our track record should give you confidence in our professionalism and ability to intertwine all the aesthetic elements of this project into a cohesive vision. We are used to being a part of a team, as we often join forces with city representatives, community leaders, and project designers as a way to integrate the whole project. Having worked extensively in Florida and other challenging outdoor climates around the world, we are familiar with which high - quality, durable materials will allow a sculpture to last with minimal maintenance, enduring extreme heat, humidity, and wind. Our studio is well -prepared to bestow an even greater sense of place upon the city of Southlake, Texas by translating the ethos of the city into an aesthetic statement. Let's work together to craft not just a visually pleasing work of art but an exaltation of the police and fire officials of the city and their noble integrity.

At this time, Vito was a member of the Editorial Committee of Harvard Business Review (Italy) and the Scientific Committee of the International Institute for Opera and Poetry of UNESCO, a Member of the Fiction Financing Committee Euro-Aim MEDIA with the Council of Europe (Bruxelles), and a Chairman of the Arts & Communication International Fellowship of the Rotary International (Evanston, II). In 2007, the city of Milan appointed Vito Di Bari to be the Innovation Designer for The 2015 Universal EXPO. As a result of this, Vito began developing creative and inspiring urban projects. All of Vito's projects are value- driven and based on next -generation technologies and materials. His Digital Expo Project won the competition with a visionary proposal featuring Vito's concepts to design a city of the future using recent discoveries in various fields, such as augmented reality, movement sensors, nanotechnologies, and robotics. Vito created his vision of the Inspirational City, a city of the future releasing positive emotions and improving the overall quality of life driven by hidden next generation technologies. NEO-FUTURISM Vito is considered the leader of the avant-garde movement called Neo-Futurism, which is a rethinking of the aesthetics and efficient functionality of future cities, concerning architectural design and art in public places. The pioneer of the movement was French architect Denis Laming. Neo-futurist urbanists, architects, and artists believe in cities releasing positive emotions and improving the quality of life through Eco sustainability, values, and innovative technologies. With The Art Reef Project (2017), Vito designed, fabricated, and installed a piece as creative as it is altruistic. In Naples, Florida one can find his one of a kind installation, which takes the form of a sea turtle laying on the ocean floor. It is composed of stone panels that have already grown new coral in an effort to revitalize the dying sea life in the area. Firmly situated within the realm of neo- futurism, it echoes Di Bari's ethos that "beauty will save the world". Vito's neo-futuristic vision of the "cross-pollination of art and technology for a better world" was defined by Steve Jobs as the "post -PC DNA" and it is shared by world-renowned designers, artists, and other creatives. ART, PHILOSOPHY, AND STYLE Vito's imaginative projects reflect the convergence of art, values, and cutting -edge technologies. He is an inspirational thought leader of not only the Neo-Futurist movement, but also of "history telling walls". The idea is to preserve the memories and feelings of a city and its citizens by immortalizing them through large-scale murals. His 2019 Tamarac Community Center Wall Mural does just that, chronicling the history of the city, from its founding to present-day, using contemporary graphics. Aesthetically, Vito's work plays off of each site's unique pulse. The clean and sleek design of the multifaceted installation Zero Mile Marker (2019) both fits within its surroundings and makes it stand out as a true landmark, beautifying a previously gray urban underpass in downtown Miami, Florida. It is this balance as well as the balance between traditional and contemporary, representative and abstract, which grants his art such widespread appeal. Of course the philosophy behind his concepts, the theory behind his designs, and the selection of materials and media is of utmost importance. However, what matters most to Di Bari is that the lives of residents improves with the installation of each of his public artworks. MyEquilibria (2016) is a testament to this, as it encourages open-air exercise and blurs the border between art and wellness. DIBARI & ASSOCIATES In 2012, Vito expanded the work of his studio in Milan to include the United States, specializing in implementing the newest technologies and materials to provide creative urban solutions for public places. Vito currently resides in Miami Beach, FL where he has recently established his studio's U.S. Di Vark 3 base of operations: DiBari & Associates. The DB&A studio brings to the United States its world- renowned star artists and designers. The members of this "Dream Team" are the very best worldwide in their respective fields. The Associates work in concert to ensure that project results are unparalleled in beauty, wonder, and functionality, by embracing innovation, sustainability, and livability. DiBari & Associates' goal is to "Design the Cities of the Future, Today". From Hong Kong to Paris, from Berlin to Rio de Janeiro, from London to Milan, from Amsterdam to Prague, the Partners and Associates of DiBari Innovation Design deliver the best that the world has to offer. All of them share Vito's vision of an Emotional City: creating beautiful, magical, eco-compatible cities implementing new materials and new technologies utilizing out -of -the -box creative new ideas. DAVID CERNY - Oversized Sculptures Born in 1967 in Prague, Czech Republic. I see myself as a sculptor whose main motivator is an incessant and all -encompassing sense of anger for Soviet communism. I have gained international recognition in 1991 when I spray -painted pink a formerly army -green tank, known as the "Monument to Soviet Tank Crews" on public display in Prague. The symbolism of this act of artistic vandalism was unmistakable - after forty years of Soviet occupation, the symbol of a brutal foreign occupation was finally rendered powerless. My works aim for the head as much as the heart. I am considered a rebel and a political artist because of my uncompromising attitude towards communists, but I see my artworks as unapologetic, lashing out at today's hypocrisies both artistically and verbally. I create large- scale sculptures and always encourage people to interact with the artworks. Recently, I have developed a special focus on human nature topics and for hiding digital tools under the skin of my artworks.

He studied sculpting at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts in the class of Pal Ko. As a scholarship student in Milan, the time spent at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera had a great influence on him. In Hungary and internationally as well, Szoke is known for his public animal sculptures. Despite his young, age, he has nearly 100 works on three continents, which have all become a defining and emblematic element of their surroundings. His pieces can be found in busy public squares in Washington DC, Gstaad, Milan, Rome, Munich, Vienna, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Zagreb, Samorin, Oradea, Budapest and many other cities worldwide. His creations are made of wood and stainless steel. The dramatic nature of French romanticism had a strong impact on his work, specifically the expressive brutality of Gericault's paintings. He considers sculptures to be the palpable result of his work, by which he can re -trace significant events in his life. For him, existence equals creation and sculptures are the physical manifestations of this. He breaks down anatomical forms into elementary units and then reinterprets these with the industrial reconstruction of these elements. He brings complex and inextricable structures to life. The most important source of inspiration for his earlier works is his late doberman, Dante, who is the central character in his own private mythology, the Dante Empire. Lord Dante has exquisite imperial taste. In his world, baroque grandeur and the strict functionality of industrialism can be found side by side. Dante is the key figure in many of his performances and exhibitions, and during his university years, the dog appears several times in his paintings, sculptures and installations. He is also the essence of Szoke's Di Vari- 4 own design furniture line, Dante Home.

My career has always been in manufacturing, solving practical problems through design. My philosophy being, to get the design right and the aesthetic flows from the design (form follows function). In 2010 while mending a fence, I twisted some old wire together to throw away and thought, "I bet you could use fence wire to make a sculpture." As my new designs develop, I'd also like to create a fresh, contemporary view of fairies, avoiding the cliches and hopefully, as a result, deliver a balance of the traditional childlike whimsicality, with the aesthetic of a female form wrapped around an action type persona. The Technique It was while mending a fence that the idea of wire as a sculptural medium struck me. Wire is perfect for the amateur sculptor. Its cheap, its accessible to all, it doesn't require any welding or special processes, and is virtually limitless in what you can produce. It's like metal clay. All you need is a coil of wire, a pair of pliers and your imagination. DOTUN POPOOLA - Metal Sculptor Dotun Popoola is a synergetic metal sculptor who has carved a niche for himself with his monumental metal sculptures, he rose from a state hopelessness to becoming a dealer in hope; giving himself to service of humanity through his artistic practice and community services. He is passionate about touching lives through his artistic and leadership skills; turning trash to treasures, rubbish to rubies and waste to wealth. Dotun facilitates art workshops for students, professionals, NGO's, healthcare institutions, hospices, orphanage homes, rehabilitation centers and schools locally and internationally. He has equally executed several monumental sculptures and large murals both in Nigeria and United States of America, he continues to provide landmark mentoring opportunities for Professional development for local and International artists in his studio in South-West Nigeria. Dotun's immense contribution to the growth of art globally has been featured in over 100 publications, both locally and internationally. His artistic practice is based on a personal philosophy that art should be explored as an agent of change, and as a tool of sociocultural review, reengineering and protest against environmental decadence. His body of works have addressed the issue of waste management and conservation, infrastructural decay, and the need to repurpose, recycle, and reuse the large army of wastes that make our environment unsightly and threaten the ecosystem. His goal then and now, is aimed at creating a luxury brand from discarded materials, and giving better values to dead and abandoned scraps.

The Department of Public Safety West Facility deserves an artwork that evokes a sense of community, paying tribute to the tireless effort that police and fire professionals put forth to protect Southlake"s citizens. Our goal is to engage the diverse community with an artwork that first responders, visitors, and locals wiwilltake pride in. Di Vark 8 A Landmark for The Department Of Public Safety West Facility This arWork aims to symbolize the integrity of the department's police and fire professionals while engagingthepublic both visually and emotionally, augmenting the unique character of Southlake.

As you enter Southlake, gold is more prominent, supported by green. As you leave Southlake, green is more prominent, supported by gold. If preferred, we could also position the sculpture the opposite way. t By positioning the sculpture at a 900 angle to the road and sidewalk, the viewing experience will be optimized for both incoming and outbound traffic and pedestrians. This duality should intrigue and encourage the viewer to take closer consideration of the symbols and metaphors woven into the artwork.

Radiating out from the shield and along the wings, they form a protective circle within which the Southlake community can feel safe and secure. a t r PROTECT SOUTHLAKE At the base of the sculpture, we propose to include the sloaan from the citv's website: "Protect Southlake ". This voices the feeling of duty that the Department of Public Safety has to its community more directly. einforcing this idea, is the continued play on of both departments, Also r color respective side of the artwork unique to each By rendering the words and logos in water jet cut metal and bolting them to the concrete pedestal, the overall aesthetic will be sturdy and reliable.

A layer of UV paint will protect the colors and prevent fading. The green and golden wings will be welded together using � metallic rod spacers, then bolted onto the concrete pedestal. The keywords and logos on the pedestal are made of water jet cut aluminum. Like the wings, the words will be bolted onto the pedestal. �R i 1; L 4 7M MAINTENANCE Very little maintenance will be required. The sculpture can be cleaned with the gentle application of water and a mild liquid detergent to remove dirt or stains. A microfiber cloth should be used to wipe the artwork's surfaces. It will be important to avoid using any abrasive cleaning agents or materials, such as steel wool or Scotch Brite, which could mark the surface of the artwork. General maintenance can be done by non -artists (public work employees). A maintenance manual made by Conservator will be included upon artwork. a certified Art delivery of the PUBLIC SAFETY: IN MATERIALS AS IN MESSAGE The average wind speed in Southlake is mild, around lOmph. However, the city experiences top speeds of 25 mph. A wind saeed around 20-25mah is considered 'a Low Threat to Life and Property' . To avoid any risk, we have conceived of the elliptical rings not just as a design feature, but also as a way to reduce the sail effect upon the sculpture. High winds will simply pass through the artwork, leaving it intact and undisturbed.

Collosal waves out of canoes, fireballs out of aluminum ladders, tornadoes out of bicycles. The elements in the structure swirl about a center and lean forward. The materials are recognizable from daily life: extension ladders, car windows, aluminum row boats. These materials are gathered in multiples and welded into iconic forms: a fireball, a tornado, a wave, an animal. The installations are thematic based on the site and it's history: a fireball of decomissioned fireladders for a firestation, trees out of skate decks for a skateboard park, a wave of recycled pipe for a water treatment plant. The placing of the elements in the array is inspired by nature: schooling fish or branches on a tree. I build interactive installations that the viewer can walk through or sit on to encourage investigation. At a distance it looks like a tornado, but up close it is made of bicycles, closer still and you can see the stickers and scrapes that show past ownership. This investigation reveals that these objects had a former life. This is why I prefer to use recycled materials that have been thrown out of society. The ability to take trash and transform it into art is alchemy at its best. A beat up canoe at the end of its life cycle makes a powerful material to remind the viewer of their time on the river. I also enjoy the pure excitement that a sculpture can bring using scale, implied motion and the cantalever of mass over an audience. My work is site specific, taking advantage of the surrounding landscape and architecture. I place the sculpture for the maximum effect of discovery and scale."

I J- Fennell-5 Letter of Interest For the Department of Public Safety Christopher Fennell would like to sculpt "Fire Ladder Droplet" a 12' tall droplet made of pipe that is topped by a 12' tall fireball of decommissioned aluminum fire ladders. The whole sculpture is based off a Mobius strip, where the base is a blue droplet and the top is a silver fire. In the same way that the artist sculpted a fireball of decommissioned fire ladders for Allen's Number Five fire station with a base of train rails, as a nod to a historical train robbery that took place there, Southlake's sculpture will have a base of pipe in the shape of water droplet, as a nod to the lake. Also by opening the top of the water droplet, it works as the base of a Mobius strip, the ladders filling in the top half, creating a figure eight, or the symbol for infinity - commenting on the eternal vigilance of the Department of Public Safety police and fire professionals. This sculpture will be 22' tall, easily visible from Southlake Boulevard.

I hope these images will help illustrate my ability to create site specific art that in each case enriches the life of the communities in which they reside. I have also included a conceptual "idea" for the City of Southlake Department of Public Safety West Facility. I say idea, because I would hope that this concept is viewed as only that— An idea or a beginning. If selected I would work closely with the Arts Council, the police and fire fighters and other stakeholders. Together I would hope to refine and if necessary redirect the shape, form and details of the artwork. I have found that my best work comes, not out of a silo or vacuum, but out of conversations and dialogue within the community.

I have been an active artist for the past twenty years from film school on the west coast to graduate school on the east coast and finally coming back to Denver and now settling with my family in Loveland. My experiences in the different regions of the U.S. has informed my aesthetic. I feel confi- dent my work will identify uniquely to any area, as well as have a universal connecting factor that we all seek as humans. As a person, I'm constantly seeking to explore modern and natural design whether old, new, found in nature, or man-made. This exploration leads to visions in my mind's eye subsequently informing me and in turn I'm compelled to create sculptural forms, and series to bring to reality. The sculptures I create circulate with aesthetics in contemporary forms with influences and inspiration from, science, architecture, and the world at large. My current body of work is focused on the presence of large stoic impersonal forms, primarily monoliths and their relationship to space. These forms address the play and balance between space that is physically occupied in conjunction with form and the activated surrounding space. All pieces use natural light to unveil another dimension or personality of the piece, as form, perspective, shadows, and reflection merge to produce an element of surprise. As a founding member of the National Sculptors' Guild we work as a team to successfully enhance public sites. The Guild is an experienced public sculpture team with over 540 placements since 1992. We understand the enormous personality it takes to realize large projects through constant problem solving and a shared vision of completion. The Guild affords me access to the expertise of nationally recognized professionals that also understand this goal. Depending on the scope of the project the team grows to include architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, and other specialists, often these subcontractors are found from the region the artwork is going to involve as much of the community as feasible. Those participating in the process are just as important as the finished product. NSG director, John Kinkade has said from the start, "Sculpture is a team sport". Our team works closely to ensure the vision is actualized as a sound placement that all may be proud of.

Held aloft by these elements and nestled within them is a mirrored sphere, representing the ideal of Hope pulling the image of the viewer visually into the composition. Seeing ones reflection brings the whole community into focus and the three elements represent the multiple facets of the department united in the goal of public safety. The concept of this piece speaks to the trust that the public places in its public safety officials. It also illustrates the dedication and excellence inherent in these officials and honors this devotion to the public's well-being. Thus this sculpture will act as a reminder to the viewer that through cooperation and community, any goal is attainable. While the material is all composed of stainless steel, the surfaces of the flame and the sphere differ to create greater depth and visual interest. The form holds interest from afar as much as it does upclose.

A sculpture recognizing your department's rescue heroes will be a gift of inspiration from you to all who will enjoy it. My forte is creating stylized figures that capture the energy and zest for their work. Every police officer, firefighter and paramedic I know has a deep passion and commitment for service to their fellow travelers in this journey called life. I hope to capture that profound sense of duty in your sculpture. In many respects first responders and athletes have much in common —to do their best regardless of the situation, to be part of a team, to support one another to ensure success. I'd like to tell you about two of them because they show how I work collaboratively with my patrons to assure delight with my sculpture. I've created several large sculpture projects working collaboratively with international, national and local community art organizations. I'd like to mention two recent commissioins. Working with Peggy Fleming, I created a heroic sized sculpture commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of her gold Olympic medal. Most recently, I sculpted three heroic sized performers for the Cornell Complex for the Performing Arts in Joplin MO. I am a commercially successful sculptor with 30 years of experience. Self-taught, I developed a body of work of traditional bronzes as well as one that is more stylized created in carbon fiber composite that I call Swoopies. These soaring sculptures have been placed throughout the country. I have a mastery of the human body's movement and emotions and my work on your first responder sculpture would reflect that. In my stroke toward our common goal for the sculpture for the DPS West Facility, and after conferring with some who serve in those roles, I envision a sculpture of a first responder "Answering the Eagle's Call" The responder is pulling on their gear, running to meet the call for help. The uniform will incorporate eagle's wings as they fly, adrenaline -fueled, to be the hero for those who need them. The piece will include a place for the viewer to be included in the scene for a "selfie" with their hero. The figure will incorporate my flowing, energetic style with appropriate representational features. Full of energy, it will reflect the resolve, pride and the courage that accompanies the rescuer. While my style is unique, it lends itself to many forms and concepts. I work (and play) well with others and enjoy the collaborative nature required in public sculpture. I will work closely with you to see that the piece I create is exactly right for you. Many options are available to us. I can easily create and install a sculpture within your budget and timeframe. I am a commercially successful sculptor with 30 years experience. Self-taught, I developed several bodies of work, including a traditional a body of work and a more stylized series I call Swoopies. These soaring heroic sculptures have been placed publically and privately throughout the West. My creative process is organic in that I listen thoughtfully to my patron's values and dreams. Then I design that descriptive moment of movement that combines the past and the future, the intent and the execution, the toil and the joy. When we agree on the concept, I bring my years of material knowledge and maker -skills to the execution of our dream. Linke-3 I'm easy to work with and skilled in collaborative development and management of new projects, some with eight -figure values. I finish on time and within budget. Dedicated to the compassion and courage of your police, fire and rescue team in Southlake, this sculpture is inspired by my son, a former firefighter -paramedic, wildland firefighter, SWAT team member and emergency communications director. Shortly after the events of 911, there was a quote that stuck with me. "We are thankful for the heroes --those police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs who are running in while everyone else is running out." This piece will reflect my gratitude for your heroes. I look forward to partnering with you on this stimulating and important project. Thanks so much, 64�1_ �_� Harold Linke-Sculptor Linke-4 Artist's Statement • Creator of wispy, swirling, white sculptures in steel, composites or bronze. • Capturing energy and connection. • Inspiring and informing through simplicity. • Original thinker and innovator. • Master of materials and technology. • Kind and funny human being. • A change maker who believes in the good in our world. Every sculptor starts sculpting wax and clay, sometimes stone. I spent a decade there, copying centuries -old techniques and messages, paying dues. But, never -before methods and materials and messages stood in a room down the hall called The Future. I turned the key and walked in. I never took an art class but all those engineering problem sets really paid off. Now I was in MY element --design of things that never were. I could sculpt the now, not the before. I dove into 3D simulations, 3D printing, carbon -fiber composites and polygonal surfacing —totally new ways of sculpting. These new tools give me opportunities for wispy thin -shell sculpture, huge forms which defy gravity, and the uncomplicated ability to adjust and modify everything for more beauty. I closed the door behind me and never look back.Now I create never-before,wispy, joyful, heroic, gravity -defying gestures. I call them Swoopies. I make sculpture especially for you. These gestures of joy and radiance belong to you, your eye and your heart. Whether you accept them as my visual gift or post them for others to savor, your en-joy-ment is uniquely now and never -before.

As a parent of a hero (yes, he did save dozens of lives) I felt the wrenching heart -spirit of a parent who is proud, but aware of the danger possible with every call. Full Throttle Having spent time at the firehouse with my son, I saw how quickly things change from nothing -to-do to full throttle. I wanted to capture that moment when the gear goes on and the adrenaline carries you, usually, to a scene of chaos where you are the hands and heart to help people having the worst day of their lives. I could make one statement with my sculpture and was torn: should the figure be a man or a woman. Women are complete members of the emergency responder family and do not shy from any of the leader or hero duties Contrast While the sculpture photos show gesture and size, they do not show the final sculptured texture very well. I intend the hero figure to be rough -surfaced with a traditional rubbed - back finish. In sculptor terms, this rough surface denotes action and movement. Your eye does not follow smooth lines, but darts from point to point adding to the sense of movement. In contrast I intend the eagle to be perfectly smooth and white (actually white with a bluish pearl reflection to mimic a blue sky every day). The sleek lines give the viewer a strong contrast between reality and spirit. Form The sculpture "leans in" to the task at hand, adding to the drama and sense of urgency. The overall height will be approximately life-sized and installed on a concrete base.

When, 100 years from now, someone finds my sculpture, they think, "He saw the world as a wonderful place." HAROLD LINKE-SCULPTOR OF WISPY, JOYFUL, HEROIC GRAVITY -DEFYING GESTURE SCULPTURES Energy and connection. Nothing good in society, community, art, music, sports or health exists without energy and connection. Likewise, every ill can be solved with more energy or more connection. Energy and connection inspired my sculpture. My sculpture's wispy, swirling, transparency exists to connect us with something higher in our own spirit. Perhaps we seek bravery, justice, speed, teamwork or excellence. All require connection; all require energy. My work embodies both in joyful, iconic figures for our time. My sculpture draws your attention immediately, a gift of energy and connection that can truly change our world. I have been a commercially successful sculptor for 30 years and have placed well over 1000 sculptures in public and private collections throughout the world.

I am an artist and architect based in New York City and in Athens, Greece. My work has been exhibited internationally, including venues such as Manifesta 8, Murcia, Spain (2010), Galeria HIT, Bratislava, Slovakia (2011), National Museum of Contemporary Art, Bucharest, Romania (2014), SITE:Lab, Grand Rapids, Michigan (2013), Queens Museum (2016), Montalvo Art Center, Saratoga, California (2016), Jule Collins Smith Museum, Auburn, AL (2017) and the Cape Cod Museum of Art (2017), among others, in addition to a significant number of public art installations throughout the United States and Europe. Educated as architect my work fluctuates between a wide range of media, with a particular focus on public art and installations in the public sphere. A recurring interest explored in my work is how space, material assembly and related processes allow for the experience of the spatial condition of the work in relation to the place, and to question notions of material and spatial ecology, negotiating usable versus visual experience of form and space. Over the past 8 years I have been engaged with a series of public interventions under the title "Basics", exploring an abstracted notion of form, space and utility in temporary public sculpture. The submitted work samples all relate to this body of work, which wants to be experienced both as a sculptural gesture in dialogue with its environment and as an interactive spatial installation in the public realm. Conceived as part of a larger museum installation at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Romania, the series has since had a substantial number of iterations throughout the US. The proposed work for the Department of Public Safety West Facility Southlake will be a formal continuation of this ongoing work series, realizing a significant permanent work at the street facing lawn at the Public Safety West Facility.

Adjust to another side, you see some- thing else. This can be a child who transforms into a bird, or words of opposing meaning that occupy the same space like `peace' and 'chaos'. I believe that having multiple ideas coexist in a single piece is a useful metaphor for the ecosystem of ideas that public art empowers and protects. Utilizing a large cohesive visual impact (strong silhouette form) enables the art placement to be enjoyed by vehicular traffic and pedestrians alike. Some imagery can be cut out of the material, others may be etched into the metal, or emphasized by a second metal, vibrant color may be painted on to further highlight the shapes and create a more dynamic experi- ence for the viewer. My intent is to make art that contributes to a wider conversation about justice and care and our impact on the world. I hope it helps people think and be happy; I hope it helps people be important to each other. I take emotional resonance and apply it to beautiful shapes. The right emotion and the right shape just might be powerful to the right person. Maybe it is a small example of how to practice BOTH AND in addition to EITHER OR Environmental Stewardship is important to me. I use environmentally conscious materials and processes in the creation of my artwork. This is of great importance for art in public places, both in theme & practice. Steel is structurally sound, sustainable, 100%recyclable and composed from pre and post consumer recycled steel, LEED certified, resistant to heat and atmospheric corrosion, and therefore long-lasting with minimal care. Most of my art- work is fabricated from this'green' material. As a member of the National Sculptors Guild we work as a team to successfully enhance public sites. The Guild is an artist -driven organization experienced public sculpture team with over 550 monumental sculpture placements in 30 years. Working with X Designs affords me access to the expertise of nationally recognized professionals that have proven accountability and experience, saving me time and money allowing me to focus on the artwork. Our team works closely together to ensure the vision is actualized and is a sound placement that all are proud of. Depending on the scope of the project the team grows to include architects, landscape architects, structural engineers, contractors and other specialists, often these subcontractors are found from the region the artwork is going to involve as much of the community as possible. .JOE NORMAN I THE NATIONAL SCULPTORS' GUILD PO Box 848 Loveland, Colorado 80539 1 (970) 667-2015 .bea)NationalSculptorsGuild.com I X-Designs-Inc.com Norman-2 JOENORMAN,NSG EDUCATION: 1999 Product Design B.S., School of Engineering, Stanford University Stanford, CA PERMANENT PUBLIC ART PLACEMENTS: 2022 "Jumping/Monarch" Benson Sculpture Garden Loveland, CO 2021-22 "Protect", Fire Station 33 Tulsa, OK 2021 "Desert Music" 5 sculptures Tempe, AZ "Sandhill Cranes/Students" Steamboat Springs, CO 2020 "Homeward/Monarch" Downey, CA 2019 'Guarding Golden Bike Rack" Roswell, GA 'Run and Fly" Golden, CO 'Air Dance' kinetic installation, Loveland, CO 2018 "Shield" mulitple placements throughout city Southlake, TX 'Wings' Taft Bridge installation, Loveland, CO 2017 'Goldfish justice' Loveland, CO 2016 'Musical Playground', Monroe Elementary, Loveland, CO 2015 'Bison Skull', Boerne, TX 'Paint Can', 'Spray Paint'— Artworks Loveland, CO 'Transistor' CreatorSpace, Loveland, CO 'Tangled' bike rack, Ft Collins Bike Co-op, Fort Collins, CO 2014 Sculptural Bicycle Racks, City of Longmont, Longmont, CO 'Pedal Power' bicycle racks, Philadelphia, PA 2012 'Lotus' sculpture for New Balance headquarters, Boston, MA 2011 'Bristlecone Table', Great Basin National Park, NV ART -ON -LOAN PUBLIC ART PROGRAMS: 2018 'Stainless Wings II', Art Encounters, CO 'Perforated Basin', Fort Collins, CO 2017 'Shard I', RoxArts, Littleton, CO Moab ArtTrails, Moab, UT 2016 'Spine II', Art on the Square, Fort Collins, CO 2015 'Bike Band' interactive musical installation, Loveland, CO 'Wheelie Disco Bike', Ft Collins Bike Library, Fort Collins, CO Art for the Mountain Community, Evergreen, CO 'Basin IV', Art in Public Places, Loveland, CO 2014 Sculpture on 73rd Art on Loan, Westminster, CO 'Bison Skull', Art in Public Places, Loveland, CO 'The Bike Stops Here', Salt Lake City, UT 2013 'Art for Awhile'- Broomfield, CO ARTwalk exhibition - Napa, CA 2012 'Art aRound Town' exhibition, Carbondale, CO 'Ride the Rockies' traveling exhibit, Statewide, CO 2011 'Lawn Gnomes' Exhibition, Salt Lake Art Center, UT SELECT ACCOLADES 2017 Juror's Award, 'Shard I', Gallery 510 Loveland, CO 2015 'Social Justice and Art', Loveland Museum/Gallery, Loveland, CO 2013 Presidential Fellowship, Anderson Ranch, Snowmass, CO Sam Maloof Scholarship, Snowmass, CO 2012 Sugarhouse Art Walk, Bike Art Best -of -Show, Salt Lake City, UT JOE NORMAN I THE NATIONAL SCULPTORS' GUILD PO Box 848 1 Loveland, Colorado 80539 1 (970) 667.2015 Joe@NationalSculptorsGuild.com I IK-Designs-Inc.com Norman-3 2011 Great Basin National Park Artist -in -Residence, Grand Basin National Park, NV Pecha-Kucha 20x20, Salt Lake City, UT 2010 Burning Man Entheon Symposium, Black Rock City, NV 'Best Recycled Works', City Weekly Arty Awards, Salt Lake City, UT Juror's Award, Utah Statewide Annual Competition, Statewide, UT SOLO/DUAL EXHIBITIONS 2018 'BioMechanics' - sculpture/dance/photography, Loveland, CO 2016 'Shards' - Artworks Loveland, CO 'Gravity' - Artworks Loveland, CO 'Taking Shape'- Gallery MAR, Park City, UT 2014 'Bountiful World'— Gallery MAR, Park City, UT 'Be a Man'— Sugarhouse Gallery, Salt Lake City, UT 2013 'Remnants' - Art Access Gallery, Salt Lake City, UT 2012 New Balance Excellent Makers campaign, MA/UT 2008 Provo Gallery Stroll Provo, UT JURIED GROUP SHOWS: 2018 'New Works' - Artworks Loveland, CO 2017 'Encounters' poetry and visual art exhibition, Gallery 510, Loveland, CO 2016 'New Works' - Artworks Loveland, CO Sculpture in the Park, Loveland, CO 'Line Casting' - Artworks Loveland, CO 2015 'Ancestors and Heritage'— Artworks Loveland, CO Sculpture in the Park, Loveland, CO 'Form/Function' — Gallery 970, Loveland, CO 'Creators/Makers/Innovators' Loveland, CO 'On the Land'— Gallery 970, Loveland, CO 'Rocky Mountain and Contemporary Imagination' Artworks, Loveland, CO 2014 Loveland Art Studio Tour - Loveland, CO 2013 'Elements' - Artworks Loveland, CO 'Five'- Gallery MAR, Park City, UT 2012 Dairy Center Bike Art Show - Boulder, CO Gallery Roll — Salt Lake City, UT 'Feel Free to Touch'— R2 Gallery, Carbondale, CO 'Favorite Place' Park City, UT 'E Pluribus Unum' Tippetts Gallery, Salt Lake City, UT 2011 Bountiful/Davis Art Center Statewide Competition, Salt Lake City, UT 'Homage' Exhibit, Rio Gallery Salt Lake City, UT Gallery Roll Exhibit, Salt Lake City, UT Spiritual Art Exhibition, Springville Museum of Art, Springville, UT 2009 NYC Art v.

The iconic sculpture will be fabricated from stainless steel, with one side painted in a vibrant durable epoxy paint. The first thing that comes to mind for us when thinking about public safety is the word "Protect" so that word is featured in this piece. One's change in perspective makes the imagery more clear. The red lettering spelling "Protect" is visible from one direction while two other perspectives show a gray silhouette of a first responder. The final side, opposite "Protect," is "an abstraction, symbolic of the unknowns that these heroes face each call. The sculpture readily identifies the activities of the Department of Public Safety West Facility. Because of the use of strong silhouette, it is visually interesting from both vehicular and pedestrian vantages. We recommend placing it where the word Protect is parallel to the building, the word is most clear when the building is in the background. The figurative elements are most visible as one approaches by driving or walking on the sidewalk toward the facility in either direction; and the abstracted portion faces the building. We have approximated this in the attached images showing three views. We believe the interactive quality of this piece will make it of interest to those who see it regularly as much as it will for someone who encounters it once. We have placed this composition in a smaller size in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Making it 10-ft tall here will best fit the site and provide a great deal of pride for the department and community. We will attempt to use sandstone to base, but the scale may require a concrete uni-pour footing instead. .JOE NORMAN I THE NATIONAL SCULPTORS' GUILD PO Box 848 Loveland, Colorado 80539 1 (970) 667-2015 .bea)NationalSculptorsGuild.com I X-Designs-Inc.com 0 y1't 1'!. � 1 Oil, s _ Eli,1 1.

Public art should be an invitation to unexpected aesthetic experiences that transform the audience's perception of place. My mandate is to listen, communicate, collaborate & develop innovative, apt design. I feel successful public art is achieved when I balance site criteria with stakeholder hopes. Through thoughtful collaboration I realize integrated commissions that are lyrical on approach, gracious when viewed, & reflective upon departure. Given your goals, I am interested for my concept to punctuate the entrance to the Public Safety Facility; the art feature will function as a visual stepping stone, encouraging civic pride in for Southlake Public Servants. Often I integrate theme -relevant iconography into my public art; I can refine my proposal to include universally admired, representational imagery into the composition of this art. I have the patience and interest to work through these details with the Team. I envision a dynamic sculpture in optically vibrant materials to enhance the resident, visitor, and processional experience. The art will serve as a distinct way -finding feature to elevate the Public Safety Facility and uphold the livability of Southlake. My portfolio range underscores my experience developing site -relevant art. Each project is distinct in theme, composition, materials, and integration. I have included a range of my art and fabrication techniques that may inform my final concept for this art opportunity. The scope of my abilities can be modified to fit your inspiration. The materials in my art include stainless steel, bronze, stone, cast glass, etched glass, formed metals or acrylics, and marine grade finishes. I excel in the production of monumental art within an economy of construction and I am ideally qualified to realize durable, uplifting sculpture If selected as a semi-finalist, I will meet with the Team to determine which attributes of my proposed art and realized works resonate. I will fold this criteria into a cohesive visual narrative for the site we identify. I am comfortable engaging in multiple rounds of design collaboration to achieve a harmonious interface between art, architecture, and environment. I have the administrative infrastructure to navigate all aspects of this art development, fabrication, installation, and community engagement process. I believe public art functions as a cultural bridge, bringing a diverse group of people together through a shared art experience. Sculptors view their world as a canvas; we seek out ever larger expanses to enliven. Humanity benefits from these engaged art experiences and I am inspired to work with the Team to identify optimal ways to deliver memorable, inviting art to inspire residents and visitors. I anticipate our collaboration will yield a signature art ambassador for the Facility and City. It is a privilege that my life's work allows me to enhance the visual narrative for many; whether developing work for a safety agency, university, hospital, transit facility, or City, I am honored to participate in the public art process.

For fifteen years, Seth has been a collaborator and designer of significant public art commissions for exceptional facilities. Unlike many public artists, Seth not only designs his art but he also personally fabricates his sculptures. Other than allied services such as cnc cutting or glass lamination, Seth does not subcontract the construction of his signature artworks. Seth has mastered many materials and is a fabrication innovator who achieves creative solutions through knowledge and craftsmanship. He brings authentic, museum caliber construction to all his commissions. In addition to his own public art, Seth has participated as design collaborator, technical advisor, and experienced fabricator on countless landmark public art installations across the country. Both Seth's designs and his fabrication skills may be found in the collections of hospitals, universities, corporations, cities, and private residences. Seth brings practical, logical solutions to his designs and is especially valuable working in Design Team collaborations. Given criteria to design towards, Seth develops targeted art with relevant theme, sweeping geometries, responsible construction, and harmonious integration into the site, architecture, or landscape. Possessing a natural aptitude for three dimensional thinking, construction, mechanics, and process, Seth has been working with his hands and materials from a very young age. His innate ability to understand the inner workings of complicated physical and material processes enables him to design from a strong, innovative platform that exceeds the abilities of many designers. Seth is a thoughtful observer and listener; Seth's ability to understand stakeholder goals informs the final aesthetic of the commission and results in meaningful, engaging artworks. Seth has significant experience developing freestanding sculpture, land -integrated exterior art, suspended mobiles, and in situ 2-D or etched glass art features. During initial proposal development, Seth reviews site information (or makes site visits where practical), analyzes material possibilities, and discusses the arc of the project with stakeholders to determine the final aesthetics of the commission. With great attention and consideration, he weaves elements of a site, its purpose, and the community into a cohesive narrative to uplift and inspire. In addition to his creative pursuits, Seth and his family share an avid love of nature, cultural experiences, and engaging with each other as they grow and thrive. It is a privilege for Seth to lead a creative life and endow his children with the knowledge that through hard work, singular focus, and thinking outside the parameters of "the norm", they too can pursue their dreams and enjoy a full, happy, creative life. Palmiter- 4 SETH[ ]PALMITER 691 Rockland Street, Rockport, ME 04856 207-706-4140 Seth. Pa lmiter@Gmail.com CONCEPT DESCRIPTION, Public Safety West Facility Public Art Opportunity have enclosed a preliminary concept for gateway sculpture at the Department of Public Safety West Facility in Southlake, Texas. As both designer and fabricator, I am uniquely qualified to realize this dynamic sculpture within the $1 OOK budget; I am especially skilled at realizing monumental art within an economy of construction. Thank you for reviewing my preliminary design. Please note, this is an initial inspiration; if selected as a semi-finalist, I will refine or redesign this concept per your directives. As currently envisioned, the gateway sculpture consists of two lyrical forms nested within a living planter. If the maintenance of the planter is not desired, the art can simply rest atop a simple oval pedestal. Additional signage can be incorporated on the planter or pedestal. The forms will be made of galvanized steel and glass. Both materials are durable for the intense sun, heat, and climate of Southlake. The materials for the gateway sculpture will respond magically to changes in the sunrise and sunset skies; similar to a living canvas, the art will absorb and reflect the surrounding ambient colors to create an ever -changing canvas. The luminosity of the glass will be especially interesting. The proposed gateway sculpture is bold, inviting, notable, and graceful from any angle; it offers strong impressions from afar and interesting details at close range. The art composition is quite sophisticated and easily understood, thus not causing distractions to motorists. The clean, contemporary forms compliment the Public Safety Facility architecture, creating a visually unifying aesthetic that is easily appreciated by a broad audience. My proposal visuals offer views of the art, the dimensions, and other optic properties typical within my work. I am highly skilled in a diverse range of materials and finishes which can be employed, per your directives, to the gateway sculpture concept; the enclosed concept is but an inspiration, the final aesthetic can be meaningfully informed by the Southlake Team. I have the patience and interest to undertake several rounds of revisions to insure the gateway sculpture is perfect for the Public Safety West Facility and the Southlake Community. Thank you for your review and consideration. Palmiter- 5 S ET H[ PA LMITER 691 Rockland Street, Rockport, ME 04856 207-706-4140 Seth.Palmiter@Gmail.com TECHNICAL OVERVIEW, Public Safety West Facility Public Art Opportunity DIMENSIONS As currently designed, the Gateway Sculpture is 18' H x 10' W. I anticipate the art will weigh less than 1500 lbs. Though I have provided significant detail, if commissioned for this project, I will finalize all details and dimensions in consultation with the design team. FABRICATION I will fabricate the Gateway Sculpture in my Rockport, Maine studio and transport it to Southlake, TX. I will install the sculpture into the previously installed pedestal; the art will seamlessly integrate onto the pedestal. I will provide detailed technical drawings of this interface. In all, construction and installation of the Gateway Sculpture will be robust. Care and attention will be paid to safety issues and the art features will integrate harmoniously into the site. FINISHES & MAINTENANCE As envisioned, the Gateway Sculpture is made of hot -dipped galvanized steel and glass. These materials are responsible for an exterior public venue. I chose materials that remain beautiful and require little maintenance. If any annual cleaning is desired, a mild detergent and soft wash will suffice. PEDESTAL As currently designed, the Gateway Sculpture will be installed atop a cast concrete planter or pedestal. There are several options to include nuanced details within the pedestal; integrated seating, a living planter, and lighting might all be components within this base. I will coordinate these options with the team if I am selected. SITE PREPARATION I will provide load bearing information and detailed drawings and descriptions of the Gateway Sculpture. I will work with you to resolve or coordinate site preparation questions well in advance of installation. I have installed significant art in similar sites. I am well versed in the industry - standard solutions to fabricate and install this art with confidence in the safety, durability, and interface between the art and site. INSTALLATION The Gateway Sculpture installation will be efficient requiring 3-4 working days. Site work will happen in advance of delivery and attachment points will be pre -installed, allowing for a quick, seamless integration of the sculpture onto the pedestal. If necessary, I can install during "off" hours and I will coordinate the installation with the City and Public Works. As always, I will do my utmost to minimize impact to the site during installation. LIGHTING I have not specified lighting for this project but I can include lighting if it is desired. I will work with the Team to identify optimal solutions and budget options.

INSURANCE I maintain excellent insurance coverage for my work throughout fabrication, travel, and install. have an excellent safety record for the monumental installations I have realized. SUMMARY I truly appreciate the privilege of creating public art; I am grateful my career allows me to elevate the public realm. My travels across the country introduce me to many wonderful regic and I am fortunate to contribute to their aesthetic narrative; I do not take this honor for grantee and I work exceptionally hard to provide distinct, meaningful landmarks for each community and art opportunity. I insure every commission is built with my hands, my attention to detail, an is superb in design and craftsmanship. The Public Safety West Facility Public Art Opportunity is c significant interest to me; I relish the opportunity the work with City of Southlake to deliver a powerful landmark to elevate and uphold your public servants. Though noted several times throughout this proposal, I would like to underscore my intent to refine and collaborate on fina aesthetics in conversation with the Southlake Team; it is easy for me to refine or redesign this concept to insure we create a perfect synergy of art, architecture, and environment. I have packed this proposal with a significant forethought but there is no substitute for digging in, as c team, to explore all the aesthetic options. I genuinely believe it is the spirit of collaboration tha breathes true life into site -specific public art. I will work with you to address any concerns you have regarding the final details of this concept. I have the skills and interest to insure the new Public Safety West Gateway Sculpture is a beloved Southlake landmark; I have realized similar work and I am available to meet with the Team to finalize this concept. Thank you once more for your consideration and fellowship throughout this process.

Having been actively involved in creating art installations for Fire Departments throughout Texas, including my recent commission for the Fire and EMS facility in Del Valle, I am deeply committed to contributing meaningful and site - specific artwork that resonates with the community it serves. My artistic approach centers on placemaking and celebrating the unique culture and values of each community. For the Del Valle project, I designed a site -specific arcade inspired by a historical fire drill tower in Austin, carefully incorporating elements of the EMS crest to symbolize permanence, stability, and the significance of essential services. The use of 30 tons of solid Texas limestone reinforced the monumentality of the piece, emphasizing the importance of the emergency services provided. The colored steel lining within each arch served as a subtle nod to the extensive behind -the -scenes work carried out by emergency personnel. In alignment with the outlined criteria for this project, my envisioned artwork will feature a public safety theme and seamlessly complement the architectural design of the building. I am dedicated to delivering the highest quality art that captivates and enriches the lives of Southlake residents and visitors and committed to creating a piece that is not only appropriate for the designated location but is also durable, low maintenance, and visible from Southlake Boulevard, engaging the community and fostering a sense of pride and connection. Thank you for considering my application. I am eager for the possibility to work with your stakeholders and bring forth a piece that resonates with the community. Sincerely, Agustina Rodriguez Rodriguez-2 PROFILE Award -winning designer, and public artist with over 13 years of work experience in the fields of visual art, architecture, architectural interiors, lighting and furniture design.

Through the use of time honored materials and formal references to classical antiquity, this proposal provides a counterbalance to the rapid new growth that has come to characterize Del Valle. Bufurd's Circle borrows its name from the Bufurd Tower - the historic fire drill tower that sits on the north shore of Lady Bird Lake in downtown Austin. Captain James L. Bufurd, for whom the tower is named, is a hero who died in the line of duty over 50 years ago trying to save a 15 year old boy from drowning. date image Bufurd's Circle Del Valle TX Fall 2023 3 of 10 DPS West Facility RFP • Work Samples Under Construction Rodriguez- 8 project location date image Bufurd's Circle Del Valle TX Fall 2023 4 of 10 DPS West Facility RFP • Work Samples Rodriguez-9 Under Construction Cascade Artist: Agustina Rodriguez Year to be completed: Fall 2023 Title: Cascade Location: Austin, Texas Budget: $210,000 Dimensions: 13 H x 20 W x 24 D Artwork Description: This artwork proposal conceptualizes the waterfalls of Central Texas with an iconic and expressive interactive sculpture that reinforces community pride and cultural heritage. The artwork achieves a sense of monumentality while maintaining an inclusive and welcoming setting. The seamless integration of seating enhances the circle as a public space by providing an opportunity for pause. The use of time honored materials such as patinaed brass and weathered steel are pplied to hundreds of linear feet of mixed metals in an innovative way — reflecting a fresh take on tradition. The sum of these metal pipe forms aggregate into cascading archways. aoMV project location date image Cascade Leander TX Fall 2023 5 of 10 DPS West Facility RFP • Work Samples Rodriguez- 10 Completed Work Phoenix Trail Artist: Agustina Rodriguez Year Completed: 2022 Title: Phoenix Trail Location: Austin, Texas Budget: $25,000 Dimensions: 9 H x 8 W x 40 D Artwork Description: Phoenix Trail is a dynamic fort installation which celebrates regeneration and nature's resiliency. Inspired by the prescribed burns in the Hill Country Trails area of the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, Phoenix Trail is about rising from the ashes and starting anew. The power of transformation is further emphasized by the alternating colors inspired by local wildflowers, creating a moire effect as one walks through and around the fort structure. The outward faces of the fort's wooden posts feature a rich Shou Sugi Ban finish, providing a direct link to the mythical phoenix. Each a -frame is punctuated with hanging rope, creating a rope maze which recalls a frolic through the tall grasses of a Blackland Prairie. i project location date image a Phoenix Trail Austin TX 2022 6 of 10 DPS West Facility RFP • Work Samples Current Commission at Mid -Design Approval Rodriguez- 11 i - - - R 61 y.. -..q� k �• r #: :ice •.. {r ^. 1. ` n-. •': +• . �?!r �vfi'1'.'' �� ,Y, �l(].7 '- • •- �,.n F._ ly�K:� "'r�:' • . 4 r �•.i''. 1'r 44 �� er. r•� }�:i. lk in 'L fi ,��r _\ Y YT�i•�'y'.�ia�4E�n�'"' '��` ,•� y -�.. 0 ap 0 0 project location date image latu E"SL Phoenix Trail Austin TX 2022 7 of 10 DPS West Facility RFP • Work Samples Rodriguez- 12 Completed Work Parallel Shift Artist: Agustina Rodriguez Year Completed: 2022 Title: Parallel Shift Location: Austin, Texas Budget: $10,000 Dimensions: 5 H x 10 W x 40 D Artwork Description: The Ruiz Branch Library is the site of Parallel Shift, a temporary installation that celebrates the value of education in our community at large. The overall form of Parallel Shift is derived from the "learning triangle" made up of learning, experience, and achievement. This trio is used to describe the hidden framework that guides us through our journey toward betterment and personal growth. The path to higher education is a shifting and ever changing process, but with it comes discovery and evolution.

The rendering is only intended to provide an example of materials and scale. The final artwork design would aim to engage the community by integrating their insights into the design process. The sculpture's form will evoke the fluidity of water cascading from fire hoses, symbolizing the community's resilience and unity. Multiple arches of varying scales will embody abundance, competence, and success, creating a visually striking representation of collaborative achievements. Through p g collaborative design and community involvement, "All Hands on Deck" will become a symbol of unity and progress for all to admire and appreciate. project location date image DPS West Facility RFP Southlake TX 2023 Rodriguez- 16 � Agustina Rodriguez 5013 Red Bluff Road Austin, TX 78702 512 • 496 • 9358 agustina@agimiagi.com agimiagi.com Public Art Opportunity Department of Public Safety West Facility Southlake, Texas Budget • Steel Material and Metal Forming Cost $20,000 • Stone Material and CNC Cutting $25,000 • Concrete Foundation $10,000 • Material finishes/Anti-Graffiti $2,000 • Installation Cost $9,000 • Transportation Cost $2,000 • Engineering $3,000 • Artist Fee (18%) $18,000 • Artist Insurance $1,000 Sub Total $90,000 • Contingency (%10) $10,000 Total $100,000 Salge- 1 ARTISTS STATEMENT PUBLIC ARTAPPROACH My art is entwined with my years in Texas and Colorado and travels in-between. Painting, sculpting and graphic arts are paramount in formulating my style as I have experimented with a wide variety of media in each discipline. Elements of old and new meld to create my own recognizable style. Cast work affords me the freedom to go as thin as I like or as massive as I choose in three -dimensions while maintaining a durable and low - maintenance installation, bronze aluminum or stainless steel can be used. After a piece is sculpted, I work closely with the foundry from the mold to metal to patina. Strong design elements, repetition of form, and structural lines make this work complement architectural sites as well as botanical settings. The immediacy of the human form and incorporation of humor translates into the public realm with ease and universal appeal. My work is contemporary without concern about anatomical realism in the animal or human forms. Depicting an attitude or feeling through body language, shapes and lines gets my desired effect. Artistic vision and expressions win out over precise anatomy or plausible function. I prefer not to describe any piece in detail; instead, I want the viewers to take an integral role in viewing and touching the sculpture to stimulate their imagination. I am eager to work with the commission to discover the piece that best accentuates the site and speaks to those that will inhabit it. As an elected Fellow I am part owner of the National Sculptors' Guild which was founded by artists in 1992. With 30+ years of experience placing over 550 significant public monuments in cities, municipalities, corporations and private institutions across the country it remains an artist -driven organization. Drawing upon the shared resources of the Guild's design team saves me time, energy and money that can better be spent on the artwork itself. Our team works closely with me and the client to ensure my vision is actualized and is a sound placement that all may be proud of. In a design team format we look forward to working with representatives from your committee to further develop a place -making design for your community.

The Carroll Creek Kinetic Art Promenade has had three new sculptures installed in place of three older ones. They were added to the creek on April 13 as part of a project that started three years ago. The new sculptures, "New Blooming Life," "We Rise By Lifting Others" and "Tranquil Dance," replaced three other sculptures that had been there since March 2020. They each had a sponsor that paid artists to create them. - 1, f f.:� .*�•�;;,1 TO"#'Oomil 1 City of Southlake TX Public Art Project 2023-2024 L.„ , L 1r Sculpture Proposal presented by Kirk Seese SOUTHLE Sept. 30, 2023 Seese-8 "Foundations of Safety" For the City of Southlake, I present a sculpture concept that P S celebrates the Foundations of Public Safety, namely our Fire Dept. and Police Dept.

Firstly, I have many friends that are in our local police department and fire department here in Tulsa. I believe it is a thankless job that is critical to our lives, yet no one truly appreciates it day to day. I believe first responders are truly our guardian angels, but we take them for granted until we need them. Secondly, the opportunity is located very close to me regionally (approximately 4 hours away), and that is a rarity in my efforts so far.....most art calls are on either side of the country near the coasts it seems. Background: I am a prolific manufacturing designer from an engineering perspective, and I have also always loved large public sculptures and have passively worked towards achieving at least a handful of installations in my life. I am interested in providing any location and community with art and passion that I feel will inspire others as I have been inspired while walking through areas with art installations. I have made complex assemblies worth several million dollars, but these assemblies were not artistic in nature and do not exactly translate to the practice. I do know fabrication techniques inside and out and have large support systems that can manufacture any designs I come up with — I want to combine technology's precision with artistic thinking to create modern art pieces that are unique in nature and represent our current capabilities as manufacturers. 5) Artist CV/Resume & References Sinor-2 BenDesigned, LLC Lawrence `Ben' Sinor 7911 S Toledo Ave Phone Number Tulsa, OK, 74136 lbsinorLdgmail.com (918) 729-5432 (m) Artist Objective To secure public & private sculpture contracts to bolster my career in the arts as well as provide communities with original symbols that they can take pride in and feel represented by.

As a metal sculptor with a passion for creating large works of art since childhood, my goal is to create sculptures that are not only technically sound but also imbued with a sense of familiarity and whimsy. With my background in engineering and experience in structural design and materials, I am confident in my ability to bring my unique vision to life in a way that is both aesthetically pleasing and structurally sound. Although I don't have an extensive portfolio of sculptures due to the high costs associated with creating large metal art, I am dedicated to honing my craft and creating larger -than -life sculptures that capture the imagination. I believe that sculptures are most enjoyable when they represent images that we can associate with, while maintaining a level of whimsical or abstractness that allows the viewer to interpret the true meaning within themselves. I want my art to be recognizable enough to trigger associations within the viewer, while also being open to individual interpretation. My wife's victorious battle with cancer has further fueled my desire to pursue this passion, and I am determined to use my talent to create sculptures that inspire hope, healing, and a sense of wonder. If selected, this project would be my first significant commissioned work, and I assure you that the images I propose as the primary concept are visually accurate to 95% of the final product. I understand that in such projects, the initial renderings and concepts often require modification due to additional support and engineering demands that emerge during structural integrity assessments. However, I can anticipate these issues due to my background and plan accordingly, resulting in initial concepts that prioritize high -integrity initial concepts. Please do not hesitate to reach out and ask any questions of me you may have — this would be a massive step towards achieving life goals of mine and I am willing to go above and beyond to work on this project.

Size of Proposed Piece: • 20 feet tall x 12 feet wide x 6 feet deep on a 4' diameter bench/pedestal structure. Description of Art Concept: This piece will be a tubular, abstract shape of an angel with wings spread. The angel will be genderless, and will be wielding a fireman's hatchet and other first responder equipment as desired by the community. This piece will closely resemble a concept I currently have, which is a bird -styled statue (see below for reference). This piece will represent our first responders — they truly operate in a capacity similar to angels, but they are also everyday people. Hince 'Everyday Angel'. I want to honor them with a piece that is both powerful and abstract — their work is not clear cut, and sometimes they must operate in unknown situations to save lives daily. Estimated Budget: • Engineering Design & Stamps (If needed): $12,500 • Raw material: $15,000 • Fabrication of piece: $20,000 • Pouring of pedestal & material: $5,000 • Transportation and installation: $3,500 Total Estimated Cost: $56,000 "Additional elements can be added if team would like the budget to be filled — I would love to add another piece to the location or something along those lines. Please do not hesitate to reach out. Sinor-23 Bird Reference Piece: Taylor- 1 Dear members of the selection committee, I am writing to express my strong interest in the opportunity to create an outdoor metal for the department of public safety west facility Southlake, TX. I am deeply passionate about art and the natural beauty of our surroundings, and I believe that this project aligns perfectly with my artistic vision and dedication to showcasing the textures and elements of our local environment. I have been working as a professional sculptor for over 15 years. My sculptures and drawings offer an artistic platform to educate viewers on the interconnectedness of the natural world and the importance of conservation. The work represents the intersection and interdependence of art, nature, and the animal kingdom. I use texture swapping to illustrate the mimicry and unity in nature by collecting molds of elements in the natural landscape to create the outer textures of my sculptures. I have had the privilege of working on several notable public sculpture projects nationally and internationally including installations in parks, museums, and universities. Currently I am working on a `prairie dog' sculpture (150K budget) commissioned by the Museum of the Southwest, Midland, TX, for their permanent collection. They have asked me to make them a `prairie dog' sculpture that is a teaching tool to show people how the prairie dogs' lives but is also full of mirth to bring smiles to patrons faces. In the fall of 2023 beginning of 2023 1 will be installing a 14 feet wingspan 'Falcon' metal sculpture at the University of Texas Permian Basin with a budget of over $200k. Throughout the process, effective communication and collaboration with the University of Texas Permian Basin will be essential. Regular updates, consultations, and approvals will ensure that the sculpture aligns with the vision and requirements of the university, capturing the spirit and energy of their beloved falcon mascot. If given the opportunity I would love to create a metal sculpture that will feature a beloved symbol of the fire department: a pair of Dalmatians. These loyal and spirited dogs have been steadfast companions to our firefighters for generations, and they epitomize the dedication and valor of these everyday heroes. This outdoor sculpture will be more than just an observer's delight; it will be an interactive experience. We want people to get up close, to touch, and to marvel at the intricate details that make this piece special. To create this metal sculpture, I would be using textures from local plants and rocks. Safety is our utmost concern, so we'll ensure that there are no sharp edges or protruding parts that could harm those who wish to explore it. I understand the importance of durability, safety, and maintenance in public sculpture. I have experience working with various materials suitable for outdoor installations, including bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum. I will ensure that the sculpture is not only aesthetically captivating but also structurally sound and capable of withstanding the test of time and environmental conditions. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity of contributing to the artistic community in Southlake Texas. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information or if there are any specific guidelines or requirements for the project.

Taylor- 5 The Dalmatians will be anchored to a concrete slab that will be poured 6-8 inches below ground level and there will be no base. Each sculpture will be equipped with threaded studs on the underside of every leg, allowing them to be securely placed into pre -drilled holes in the concrete. Polyester hybrid mortar will be used to anchor the dalmatians in position. To maintain a natural appearance, there will be a 6-8-inch gap between the bottom of the legs and the concrete.

I believe, together, we can create a meaningful work of art that will have an impact far beyond Southlake's borders and will be a powerful statement piece that will serve as a timeless touchstone for Fire and Law Enforcement officers, and serve as an inspirational point of interest for families and visitors to the Southlake area. I am easy to work with and encourage input so that the final result truly reflects the purpose and goals that you have set out. I live in Dallas county which gives me the ability to make several site visits and also have the availability for the Arts Commission and city workers visit the studio during the creation process if desired. I look forward to the opportunity of developing a monument that will exceed your expectations.

I would like to propose a truly conceptual work that is powerful in its simple imagery, while saying everything about Public Safety in a singular image. The concept is a monumental bronze sculpture titled "The Guardian " depicting a symbolic hand of the a public safety officer grasping the hand of a child (perhaps during a rescue). The hands are analogous of all law enforcement and fire officers who care for and willingly risk their safety to protect the public. The sculpture would first be noticed at the stoplight just east of the Facility on Southlake Blvd and would slowly reveal itself as drivers head west. The idea is that driving East to West is an interactive experience with the art as travelers realize it's a child's hand being grasped. I believe Southlake's brave Police and Fire workers and residents alike will strongly identify with this sculpture as a beautiful and timeless symbol for the City of Southlake. The bronze hands he would be installed on custom concrete base with stone overlay matching the facade of the building. This will be visible from the road in both directions featuring the Fire and Police emblems on either side. I am excited about the project and hope this proposal is the first step in bringing the Arts Councils initial vision to life while demonstrating my commitment to honoring the Police and Fire Department with a beautiful piece. I look forward to working with the Arts Council and welcome your input and suggestions that will improve the aesthetics of the piece.

This project aligns with my artistic philosophy to inspire unity in our neighborhoods and honor those who help serve the community. I am ready to bring my creativity and passion to this project, in order to design and install a large-scale artwork at the Department of Public Safety West Facility in Southlake, Texas. I have recently completed relevant projects, including large-scale installations, kinetic works, landscape features, dynamic lighting, and works honoring specific groups of people. Stemming from the culture and peculiarities of their locations, my work converts sites into memorable destinations for visitors and iconic places of pride for local residents. The goal of MyEquilibria (2018) was to do away with the angular confines of normal health and wellness equipment in favor of the organic curves of the natural world, in particular, trees and their branches. These shapes were also chosen for the way they complemented the surrounding existing architecture and landscaping. In the end, the public was given something that could potentially enrich their lives not just visually, but physically as well. In order to craft Pet Love Archway (2023) at the Animal Control Facility of Odessa, Texas, I first sought to understand the compassion of the employees and the deep connection patrons have with their animals. Community outreach is an integral part of my design process, and the first step in collaborating with the local residents. My goal on this project will be to use these processes to tap into the powerful emotions of Southlake inhabitants, and visually represent the devoted work of the local Police and Fire Departments in protecting these citizens while reflecting the mission and values of the City of Southlake. Another sculpture of mine that relates to this call is Sun Salutations (2021). By paying homage to the natural elements through symbology, movement, and the refraction of the sun's light through dichroic glass, it promotes the unique character of the location in which it is installed. Also, the chosen colors are those of the city seal, deepening this connection. The power that the sunset has to captivate the community at a specific time is encapsulated and exhibited throughout the day in this interactive and engaging piece. I see success on this project deriving from optimizing visibility from Southlake Boulevard in order to draw people closer to consider the motifs based on the Police and Fire Departments and many other multilayered details. My track record should give you confidence in my professionalism and ability to intertwine all the aesthetic elements of this project into a cohesive vision. I am used to being a part of a team, as I often join forces with city representatives, community leaders, and project designers as a way to integrate the whole project. Having worked extensively in Florida and other challenging outdoor climates, I am familiar with which high -quality, durable materials will allow a sculpture to last with minimal maintenance, enduring extreme heat, humidity, and wind. I am prepared to bestow an even greater sense of place upon the city of Southlake, Texas by translating the ethos of the city into an aesthetic statement. Let's work together to craft not just a visually pleasing work of art but an exaltation of the police and fire officials of the city and their noble integrity. Vito Di Bari VITO DI BARI Innovation Designer, CEO and Founder of DiBari & Associates Professional Resume. In 1999, Vito was appointed Executive Director at International Multimedia Institute of UNESCO, in Paris. At this time, Vito was a member of the Editorial Committee of Harvard Business Review (Italy) and the Scientific Committee of the International Institute for Opera and Poetry of UNESCO, a Member of the Fiction Financing Committee Euro-Aim MEDIA with the Council of Europe (Bruxelles), and a Chairman of the Arts & Communication International Fellowship of the Rotary International (Evanston, I1). In 2007, the city of Milan appointed Vito Di Bari to be the Innovation Designer for The 2015 Universal EXPO. As a result of this, Vito began developing creative and inspiring urban projects. All of Vito's projects are value- driven and based on next -generation technologies and materials. His Digital Expo Project won the competition with a visionary proposal featuring Vito's concepts to design a city of the future using recent discoveries in various fields, such as augmented reality, movement sensors, nanotechnologies, and robotics. Vito created his vision of the Inspirational City, a city of the future releasing positive emotions and improving the overall quality of life driven by hidden next generation technologies. NEO-FUTURISM Vito is considered the leader of the avant-garde movement called Neo-Futurism, which is a rethinking of the aesthetics and efficient functionality of future cities, concerning architectural design and art in public places. The pioneer of the movement was French architect Denis Laming. Neo-futurist urbanists, architects, and artists believe in cities releasing positive emotions and improving the quality of life through Eco sustainability, values, and innovative technologies. With The Art Reef Project (2017), Vito designed, fabricated, and installed a piece as creative as it is altruistic. In Naples, Florida one can find his one of a kind installation, which takes the form of a sea turtle laying on the ocean floor. It is composed of stone panels that have already grown new coral in an effort to revitalize the dying sea life in the area. Firmly situated within the realm of neo- futurism, it echoes Di Bari's ethos that "beauty will save the world". Vito's neo-futuristic vision of the "cross-pollination of art and technology for a better world" was defined by Steve Jobs as the "post -PC DNA" and it is shared by world-renowned designers, artists, and other creatives. ART. PHILOSOPHY. AND STYLE Vito's imaginative projects reflect the convergence of art, values, and cutting -edge technologies. He is an inspirational thought leader of not only the Neo-Futurist movement, but also of "history telling walls". The idea is to preserve the memories and feelings of a city and its citizens by immortalizing them through large-scale murals. His 2019 Tamarac Community Center Wall Mural does just that, chronicling the history of the city, from its founding to present-day, using contemporary graphics. Aesthetically, Vito's work plays off of each site's unique pulse. The clean and sleek design of the multifaceted installation Zero Mile Marker (2019) both fits within its surroundings and makes it stand out as a true landmark, beautifying a previously gray urban underpass in downtown Miami, Florida. It is this balance as well as the balance between traditional and contemporary, representative and abstract, which grants his art such widespread appeal. Of course the philosophy behind his concepts, the theory behind his designs, and the selection of materials and media is of utmost importance. However, what matters most to Di Bari is that the lives of residents improves with the installation of each of his public artworks. MyEquilibria (2016) is a testament to this, as it encourages open-air exercise and blurs the border between art and wellness. DIBARI & ASSOCIATES In 2012, Vito expanded the work of his studio in Milan to include the United States, specializing in implementing the newest technologies and materials to provide creative urban solutions for public places. Vito currently resides in Miami Beach, FL where he has recently established his studio's U.S. base of operations: DiBari & Associates. The DB&A studio brings to the United States its world-renowned star artists and designers. The members of this "Dream Team" are the very best worldwide in their respective fields. The Associates work in concert to ensure that project results are unparalleled in beauty, wonder, and functionality, by embracing innovation, sustainability, and livability. DiBari & Associates' goal is to "Design the Cities of the Future, Today". From Hong Kong to Paris, from Berlin to Rio de Janeiro, from London to Milan, from Amsterdam to Prague, the Partners and Associates of DiBari Innovation Design deliver the best that the world has to offer. All of them share Vito's vision of an Emotional City: creating beautiful, magical, eco-compatible cities implementing new materials and new technologies utilizing out -of -the -box creative new ideas.

As an artist specializing in bronze public safety statues, I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to create a meaningful and visually engaging sculpture for this location. For the past 40+ years, my studio has been dedicated to crafting custom bronze statues that honor public safety personnel, including police officers and firefighters. Our work is in over 350 communities across the country, emphasizing the values of service, dedication, and community safety. The chance to collaborate on a project that reflects the mission and values of the Department of Public Safety while enhancing the visual environment of Southlake is truly exciting. Our expertise in bronze sculpture and our commitment to creating pieces that resonate with their surroundings make us a strong candidate for this endeavor. I believe that art has the power to connect people and communities, and I am eager to discuss how our experience and passion align with the goals of this project.

Humanity Memorial Team Top Priority: Design and Consult Structural Designer Team From Concept to Installation to Assure Structure Integrity and Public safety. Thornton Tomasetti Structural Design Work Example MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. MEMORIAL Washington, DC Thornton Tomasetti provided structural engineering for a new memorial that occupies a four -acre site along the tidal basin on the National Mall. A crescent -shaped plaza is surrounded by curving, stone -clad retaining walls carved with inscriptions. Two large stones, the "mountains of despair;' form a gateway flanked by waterfalls. On the plaza, the "stone of hope" incorporates a 31-foot-tall sculpture of Reverend King. Thornton Tomasetti's engineers worked closely with the geotechnical consultant to overcome extremely challenging soil conditions. The entire memorial rests upon piles driven to bedrock. The water features posed an additional design challenge. Plans originally called for a remote pump -room with underground piping running to the falls. A design change added below -grade pump rooms beneath each of the waterfalls, with a 175-foot tunnel providing access to both. This required the tunnel to run directly below the massive "mountains of despair." Thornton Tomasetti reanalyzed and reconfigured the arrangement of piles supporting the stones to accommodate the tunnel. The design of the tunnel itself was complex, requiring precise integration with many different components. Highly detailed and coordinated drawings ensured that the design intent was clear and simplified construction. The project includes a 3,000-square-foot structure across the street from the memorial.

Thornton Tomasetti 38 FEET "NEW MAN" SCULPTURE SANCTUARY FOR SUFISM REORIENTED, Walnut Creek, California Structural engineering for the "New Man" sculpture installation located in a high Grand Stair space within a 75,000-square-foot sanctuary of worship. The 38-foot-tall sculpture features the body of a man wrapped in a spiral of vining branches with butterflies. This unique sculpture presented several structural challenges. With many large and long holes throughout the piece, stress on the bronze was concentrated and created local buckling concerns. A peer review was performed for another engineer's design of the statue where the bronze thickness was increased to one inch in some places, creating greater strength demands. However, due to the limitations of the fabricator, the bronze could only be 3/8 inches thick. To work within the fabricator parameters and preserve the sculpture's form, friction pendulum isolators were used to reduce bronze thickness enough to facilitate fabrication of the sculpture. The use of base isolation substantially improved the seismic performance of the piece, providing for a long design life. Analysis was performed using several programs, including NASTRAN. We also provided structural engineering for the sanctuary which includes 13 domes, the largest of which is eighty feet in diameter. The sanctuary, foyers, library and classroom are above grade and total 19,000 square feet.

WORLD EXPO 2020 CENTERPIECE VENUE Dubai, United Arab Emirates The first World Expo held in the region, Expo 2020 Dubai will host 190 participating countries and visitors. The full project is composed of two hotel buildings, three office towers and a central basement. As the crown jewel and centerpiece of the Expo masterplan, the Al Wasl Plaza features a dramatic 70-meter tall, 150 diameter gridshell design at its heart, referred to as the "Trellis." Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design services to the architects, collaborating closely to develop a structural system that met the stringent aesthetic requirements and was optimized for constructibility. Unlike traditional diagonalized gridshells, the unique structural framework of the "Trellis" draws inspiration from the event's iconographic logo as a series of nested and tangent rings that result in a flexurally governed ductile structural system. Each of the steel rings are in -filled with Polytetrafuoroethylene (PTFE) fabric panels that function both as shading for the open plaza and a projection surface for dramatic 360 degree immersive events for Expo attendees and future visitors. Key structural engineering considerations were related to the geometric definition, loading and performance criteria, global stability and imperfections, and the steel fabrication and erection. Thornton Tomasetti also provided structural engineering services for the hotel and commercial buildings around the plaza. Each of the five structures dramatically cantilever towards the "Trellis" surface, giving occupants dramatic and unique views of the landscaped plaza and projected immersive experience.

San Diego, California The San Diego Zoo's origin myth starts with a lion. After hearing a lion's roar amongst the caged animals left over from the 1915- 16 Panama -California Exposition's exotic animals exhibition in Balboa Park, Dr. Harry Wegeforth felt inspired and subsequently founded the world-famous zoo. More than a hundred years later, this story has been immortalized with "Rex's Roar;' the world's largest cantilever bronze animal statue. Thornton Tomasetti provided structural engineering services for the sculpture's structural steel skeleton and concrete foundation. At more than 27 feet tall and weighing in excess of 18,000 pounds, Rex's Roar had to be securely positioned for the safety of patrons and zoo visitors. Numerous scale models were scanned and modeled from the original illustration before the final sculpture was created out of 200 bronze pieces welded together. The pieces were first 3D printed to create hollow ceramic -coated wax molds to cast the bronze. The lion was bolted to an 8,000-pound stainless steel skeleton consisting of a supportive spine and ribs, then anchored by a 100,000-pound concrete footing. Besides the weight and size of the sculpture, San Diego is a highly seismic area, which presented additional challenges. The large bronze sculpture had to withstand large seismic vertical forces and torques, but no off -the -shelf piece of stainless steel of the right strength, stiffness and size fit inside Rex's leg. To solve the problem, a custom heavy tube welded from individual plates was used. Many connections between the stainless steel and bronze helped distribute the load and avoid Owner San Diego Zoo Global Foundation Client / Fabricator Artworks Foundry Completion Date 2018 Total Length 36 ft Construction Cost $1.7 million Services Structural Engineering EAwards 0 Best Projects Award, Cultural /Worship Category, ENR: Engineering News -Record, 2018 over -stressing the 3/16-inch-thick bronze.

GOOGLE BAY VIEW CAMPUS Mountain View, California Our innovative approach to the roof design and construction sequencing ensured this corporate headquarters stayed on schedule. Located in a high -seismic zone, Google's Mountain View corporate campus includes three distinct buildings that feature expressive sweeping canopy roof structures. The canopies are shallow inverted shell structures - which do not achieve their full stiffness until fully erected - which presented challenges to the fast -track schedule. The unconventional canopy structures also required an innovative design approach. We provided structural design services to BIG, Heatherwick Studio & Adamson Associates and construction engineering services to Whiting -Turner and Schuff for the three -building campus. Here's how We worked closely with the entire project team - including client, architects, construction manager and subcontractors -to develop an architecturally expressive roof that is a structurally efficient system and could be quickly, accurately and efficiently built. Performance -Based Seismic Design employing state of the art analysis techniques was used to demonstrate that the structure exceeds code requirements and satisfied the rigors of peer review during permitting whilst maintaining schedule. Since the roof is effectively a series of large inverted shells it was not feasible to crane the panels into place in one piece. We collaborated with the steel fabricator early in the process and optimized the design to suit the fabricators' workflow, which involved assembling the roof panels on bolsters at low level and strand -jacking them into place. This design proved much more effective than craning sub -assemblies of the canopy into place in their final location. We also provided erection engineering services to the fabricator to devise the jacking methodology and design the shoring, bolsters, temporary jacking anchorages and sliders. The result Erecting the roof canopy steelwork at low level and strand -jacking into place proved much more effective than craning elements of the canopy into place in their final location. Careful planning and rigorous attention to detail ensured that the pieces went together quickly on site while meeting steel tolerances. The biggest single -hoisted assemblies included more than 180,000 square feet of roof structure covering a footprint of nearly 500 feet by 500 feet at its widest spot, setting a western hemisphere record for the largest roof lift by size and number of strand -jacks used at one time.

The installation served as the gateway to Design Miami 2016 and was later reconstructed as a semi -permanent installation at the Miami Design District's "Jungle Plaza." Branch Technology produced most of the structure using its patented free -form cellular fabrication technique to print a special mix of chopped carbon fiber and ABS plastic. Oak Ridge National Laboratory printed a portion of the installation using polypropylene reinforced with bamboo fibers. Thornton Tomasetti's CORE studio engineered the pavilions that composed the structure and, in the process, invented new analysis techniques to quickly evaluate versions of the complex conformal lattice. An effective anisotropic shell -stiffness matrix was found to represent the overall lattice behavior accurately to within 0.1 percent, performing 20 times faster than the complete lattice model. Quick feedback was especially crucial for supporting design decisions to meet production goals.

The new entrance was conceived as a clear glass box with minimal structural supports. As the lead structural engineer for the project, Thornton Tomasetti designed the two 53-foot sculptural steel columns along with the remainder of the steel and concrete superstructure to support the 8,000-square-foot space. Here's how The shape of the columns and their placement within the pavilion were influenced by complex site constraints. Located above the new passageway tunnel, an existing train tunnel relieving platform and a former pedestrian bridge pile cap, the supports for the entire structure had to be focused to only two points of contact underground. The site constraints guided the design team toward the idea of two funnel -shaped columns that grow from small footprints at the foundation to support the large roof. The architect's vision for the sculptural columns consisted of continuous pipes woven together in a basket- like fashion. Thornton Tomasetti collaborated closely with the architect and the steel contractor to develop connection details with a seamless finished appearance.

After our oldest son, David, was killed at the age of 7, in an ATV accident, Ms. Hopen created a statue of David and his three siblings. Ms. Hopen and her team installed the statue on a hillside overlooking a pond and woods in our garden. The statue embodies our family's vow to keep David's memory a powerful part of our everyday lives. It portrays one of our favorite memories -the magic of wonder and discovery David experienced exploring J.R. Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island with his younger sister, Beverly. The statue, which faces the woods, was also intended to convey the anticipation of setting off an adventure -a metaphor for our wish that David's existence continues in some happy way in an afterlife. In addition, the statues captured the likeness of our children but were quite complex. This may sound like hyperbole, but in a sense they reminded me of Michelangelo's statue of This is so beautiful! we struck by the r rr lance and emotions conveyed.

I relate these emotions and movement in my work. I research the history, mission, and goals with the client/community, brainstorming, asking for feedback. For example, my design for the Korean War Memorial describes a country torn down the center, illustrated by mirror image segments and cohesive bonds separated. I interviewed Korean War Veterans, also Korean families that shared the experience. Another project, my design for the Theatre and Dance Complex for Texas Tech University had to welcome and unite a wide range of medium. The sculpture captures the fluid movement, the raw strength, and beauty of all forms of dance and performance. My passion is sculpture; my foundation is engineering. My experience with the creation of monumental projects began as a fabricator, progressing to becoming a Project Engineer, ultimately a Professional Artist. Best Regards, Mark Chew Chew 2 9458 Silver Pine Loop Fort Myers, Florida 33967 Phone: 941.716.2453 Email: Info@MarkChew.com Website: MarkChew.com Date: September 21, 2023 Letter of Interest: Department of Public Safety West Facility in Southlake, Texas Dear Ms. Lopez and Southlake Arts Council Members, Please accept this letter of interest as confirmation of my desire to be the commissioned artist for the Department of Public Safety West Facility Art Commission. Thank you for taking the time to review my previous work. In order to start the learning process, I began by researching Southlake's history and current events. The city website gave me some insight and interesting historical facts; I enjoyed the Mayor's minute videos and community engagement projects / calendar. I have friends that live in the DFW area and they enjoy the Grapevine Lake reservoir and trails. My proposal is to become a part of your team! I will collaborate with you, your community stakeholders, as a part of the design team. I have completed projects with architects, communities, and public art professionals for corporate, municipal, educational institutions, and non-profit clients; both interior and exterior public spaces. I make in -person presentations, listen, and take notes. Material samples are presented for consideration: the weight, textures, and finish will be experienced at the collaboration level. I create scaled maquettes of the design. I produce videos that capture 360 degree views of the proposed design. I do not offer surprises! What we approve is what will be realized in the completed project. My proposal will incorporate several proactive measures. The materials used, fabrication processes, and surface finishing techniques that minimize the effect of vandalism and permanent surface treatments to further enhance the endurance of the material. Also, designing for placement near traffic, highly visible from Southlake Boulevard, avoiding distraction and glare. A few of my completed permanent public art installations are highlighted with lighting in the base and up -lighting in the perimeter — these are included in my sample of completed works. Chew 3 I have summarized my abilities and experience below to match the needs of the project: • Collaborative Public Art experience with proven engineering fundamentals and practicality — to include ADA compliance and public safety. • My established ability to complete and install a project of this size. I have experience with safely transporting and installing monumental sized sculpture across the country. • Unlimited options / addition of color(s) — I work closely with industrial experts. • Minimal maintenance requirements: sealed surfaces, anti -graffiti, UV inhibitors, industrial adhesives, galvanizing, powder coating — multiple material options as well. • 1 work with Texas licensed professional engineers and construction industry leaders. • 1 work closely with licensed Texas Electricians, together we have incorporated lights and lighting within previous projects. • Experienced with creating and installing artwork in Texas • Fabrication experience with laser cutting, roll forming machinery, welding, and machining. • 1 am a United States Army Veteran. My approach will be systematic and organized. Throughout the process I will remain open to ideas, in contact with progress photos, and flexible - ultimately ensuring an outcome that exceeds expectations. Thank you for the consideration.

The artwork conveys the hopeful story of the building of a new community from the tragedies of war. At night the sculpture is illuminated from within like a lantern, symbolizing the resiliency and hopes of the community. Surrounding the central sculpture are benches that showcase 100 portraits of everyday Vietnamese Americans, a collaborative project with the Vietnamese American Oral History Project of the University of California, Irvine. Title T.I.E. (Transformation, Illumination, Effort) Artist James Dinh Year 2022 Location College of Education, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NE Medium Painted steel Dimensions 20' high x 14' diameter Budget $100,150 Client University of Nebraska Located in front of the new College of Education, the sculpture encapsulates ideas that are often associated with learning and education, namely transformation, illumination, and effort. To create a three-dimensional artwork that embodies the process of change and growth, a flat plane is conceptually cut and folded. As light is a universal metaphor for the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge, both sunlight and night-time illumination are incorporated into the artwork. Depending on the time of day and how sunlight hits the sculpture, the resulting light and shadow patterns created by the circular perforations on the sculpture change throughout the day. The design also creates a welcoming gathering space that is inspiring and joyful. Title Equity Fountain Artist James Dinh & Michael Stutz Year 2020 Location Helena, MT Medium Granite and stainless steel sculpture Dimensions 7' high x 6' wide x 6' long Budget $80,000 Client Equity Fountain Committee A glimmering sphere that seemingly floats above the rippling water of a granite millstone fountain. Words in English and Native Chippewa language are "woven" into the sphere, to remind the community that we must be steadfast like a turning millstone in ensuring that society is guided by values that unite us as opposed to divide us. The Chippewa words represent the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers, a value system present in many Native American cultures. Studio Folia 2 Title Daisy Garland Artist James Dinh & Michael Stutz Year 2023 Location University of North Carolina, Greensboro Medium Bronze, brick, powder -coated aluminum panels, landscape Dimensions 7' high x 43' diameter Budget $170,000 Client University of North Carolina The artwork pays tribute to the years when the school was known as the Woman's College. The graduation tradition of the stitching together a garland made of real daisy flowers —the Daisy Chain —was one of the school's earliest customs. The project creates a community space that — like the Daisy Chain —connects the past to the present and future and people to place. The tribute has two main elements: the "garland walls" and a central sculpture. As three seating elements that create a circular space, the "garland walls" visually connect people to the legacy of the past through historic photographs and also to each other. Similar to how the College played a transformative role in changing the lives of women, the narrative of the "garland walls" is metaphorically transformed into a sculpture of a woman's face--Astera. The sculpture is the embodiment of the aspirations of all the women who passed through the educational halls of the Woman's College. "Woven" from strips of bronze, the sculpture references Greensboro's once - prominent textile industry and was fabricated by sculptor Michael Stutz. Title First Responders Artist Michael Stutz Year 2012 Location First Responders Training Facility, Carlsbad, CA Medium Bronze Dimensions 7' h x 7w x 3.5' d each Budget $180,000 Client City of Carlsbad Their smiling characters and civic roles are distinctive, while having a universally heroic appeal. The sculptures feature stainless steel versions of the badges and patches that identify the Carlsbad forces. The Portrait Heads are a daily presence in the life of the area, a renowned attraction and photo spot that draws the public to investigate and celebrate the First Responders Training Facility. The installation is about the pride and vital support that Police and Fire provide in the Carlsbad community. Studio Folia 3 Letter of Intent Dear Selection Committee: It is an honor for our team to submit our qualifications for the Public Safety West Facility public art project. Based in Southern California, our team is interested in the project because of the opportunity to create an iconic artwork that we believe will connect the mission and services of the public safety departments and the city to the larger community. We have worked on similar projects where the artwork serves as a place -making element and creates connections between people and place. With diverse personal backgrounds, our team includes Michael Stutz, an internationally recognized sculptor, and James Dinh, who works at the confluence of public art and landscape architecture. Originally from Chattanooga, Michael designs and fabricates sculptures that inspire through their joyful and distinctive presence. Having refined over twenty years a sculptural technique that weaves strips of metal into dynamic forms, Michael literally knits together narratives about community and culture. Leveraging his background in landscape architecture and public health, James is a spatial storyteller who examines projects from a holistic point of view, looking at how design can contribute to the overall well-being of communities. We approach design as a collaborative process, with the belief that the best results occur when there is room for many voices to be heard, from stakeholders to community members. We believe is important to create art that welcomes people of all backgrounds, ages, and abilities. In 2020, our team completed a project in Helena, Montana titled Equity Fountain. Sitting atop a large granite millstone, a stainless steel sculpture has words in English and a Native American language "woven" into a sphere. The words are intended to remind people that they must ensure that society is guided by the ideals of equality, diversity, tolerance, etc. In April of this year, we completed a significant project at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro, which honors that time when the school was known as the Woman's College. Though each of us has independently completed public art projects with significant budgets and scopes of work across the U.S., we believe that by working as a team can we fully examine the opportunities of the Public Safety West Facility public art project. James would act as the project manager and designer, and Michael would be co -designer as well as oversee fabrication and construction management. Our strengths are complimentary. If selected for the project, we would prioritize the project so that it will completed within schedule and budget. We have extensive experience working with design teams, engineers, and municipalities. We believe that the importance which we place on connecting art to place, emphasis on celebrating local stories, as well as past project experiences, will make our team a strong candidate for the Public Safety West Facility public art project. Thank you for your consideration.

My approach to this commission will be creating large, unique, site specific public art in stone symbolizing the themes relevant to the Department of Public Safety West Facility public art project. I am a Tero certified artist of the Cherokee Nation & my work is represented by The Abstract Marble Gallery, Marble, Colorado & Sunrise Art Gallery, St George, Utah where I have studio facilities. Stone is the most sustainable & green material in history, climate friendly with zero harmful emissions or toxic materials created during fabrication, accessing power of Earth for positive community involvement. Over 40 years experience as a landscape designer/stone mason give me a unique perspective on placement of public art. I specialize in on -site public sculpting projects. In 2010 I completed Last Love 6, 7 tons in Vandalia, Ohio at the Vandalia Chiseled Stone Sculpture Symposium. The symposium featured the top 5 stone sculptors in America, winning entries national public art competition. In 2011-13 Commissioned sculptor in the $1.1 million RTC of Southern Nevada International public art competition. 'Motion' 9 feet high, 10 tons, was completed on site in Indiana Limestone. In June/July 2014 Last love 7 realized from a 10 ton block of Indiana Limestone on site at Guthrie Green Park, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

My father was a natural born American citizen. The family moved to Canada in 1964, my mother being a Canadian born citizen. I have dual U.S./Canada citizenship. My first formal fine art studies were at Vancouver Community College, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I entered the fine arts program in 1974/77/78 & studied sculpture with Barrie Holemes who lived and worked with Henry Moore in England for two year in the 1960's. In the summer of 1980 1 worked with 25 international sculptors at the Lahr International Stone Sculpture Symposium in Lahr, Germany where I completed my first public sculpture in stone -'The Symbol' a four ton hand carved piece of Carrera marble from Italy. The first public sculpture in stone in Europe by a Ca- nadian born artist. In 1981 1 received my four year diploma (BFA) in sculpture from The Emily Carr University of Art & Design, Vancouver, B.C., Canada with a specialty in stone sculpture. In 1983 1 completed the public stone sculpture `People' in an open public studio environment. The sculpture was realized at The Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, B.C., Canada in partnership with the university art gallery. From 1985 to 1987, 1 completed The Coquitlam Stone Sculpture Symposium on -site, a 14 piece permanent outdoor stone sculpture garden & park. I participated as project manager/sculptor/teacher and completed 10 public sculptures. From 1989-93 1 was manager of The Inner Circle Stone Sculpture Symposium, resident sculptor with The Red Doors Art Gallery & Bistro in Britannia Beach, B.C., Canada. In 1994 1 realized the Squamish Pavilion Stone Sculpture Park, a permanent 6 piece stone sculpture garden located in Squamish, B.C., Canada. In 2006 1 was commissioned by The Resort Municipality of Whistler, B.C., Canada to complete `Last Love 1', the winning entry in a regional public art competition. The project was realized in an open public studio environment from a 6 ton 9 foot high block of Verona marble from Italy. In 2007 1 was awarded a public art commission from The Resort Munic- ipality of Whistler to complete 'Owari', a table and two chairs sculpted from Whistler Black Basalt. I spent 2006-2007 liv- ing in Santa Fe, New Mexicon sculpting, drawing and absorbing the culture of the Southwest U.S.A. In 2008-2009 1 was awarded a public art commission by The Resort Municipality of Whistler to complete `Last Love II-V' in four blocks of Whistler Black Basalt, each sculpture approximately one ton. The commission was a winning entry in a regional public art competition. In 2010 1 was one of five selected finalists in the 'Vandali Chiseled' stone sculpture symposium, a national U.S.A. public art competition featuring the top five stone sculptors in America. I was commissioned by the City of Vandalia, Ohio, to complete 'Last Love 6' from a 7 foot high x 3 x 356 ton block for the world famous Indiana Limestone. In 2011 1 was a shortlisted artist in the $1.1 million Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada(Las Vegas) Interna- tional public art competition `Centennial Hills Transit Center'. In 2012 in this competition I was a jury selected winning commissioned sculptor with the public art concept `Motion', a 9 foot high x 4 x 2.5' 7 ton sculpture in stone. Motion was realized on -site at Centennial Hills Transit Center, North Las Vegas, Nevada and was permanently installed in June 2013. In 2012 1 relocated to the St. George area of Southern Utah. In 2013-2014 1 was a jury selected finalist/winning commissioned sculptor in the Tulsa, Oklahoma Traffic Engineering Facility Public Art Project for the `Last Love 7' con- cept realized in a 9 x 3.5 x 3', 7 ton block of Indiana Limestone. The project honors Dwight D. Eisenhower, Cyrus Avery & Clinton Riggs. 2016-2017 saw the completion of the Route 66 1, 2 & 3 Howard Park Public Art Project, realized on site at Waterworks Art Studios, City of Tulsa, Oklahoma. In 2018, 'Last Love 8' was realized for The City of St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. It s permanently sited at Queen's West Park in St. John, Canada. In 2019-2022 1 relocated to New Westminster, B.C., Canada to be involved with the Studio Stone Artist Co-op in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I currently reside in St. George, Utah.

It's a multiphase comprehensive expose on Mesoamerican lore and more specifically on a pre-Columbian notion of time. Here, there would be three simultaneous and concurrent proposals that center on concrete poetry.

Over the course of 25 years, I have produced over 90 large-scale municipal sculptures locally and 11 across the United States. All phases of conception, design, and production are completed inside my 10,000 square -foot fabrication studio, which contains an array of state-of-the-art tools and machines. Staffed by a team of accomplished fabricators, Youngblood Studio is at the forefront of the Memphis art community, often partnering with local and regional artists on projects that prioritize collaboration and diversity. One of my primary strengths is my ability to communicate with and garner support from all invested members. I approach each project independently, responding to the history, legacy, and future dreams of the community as well as the site's surroundings, purpose, and function. I begin my projects by having conversations with people representing all demographics that populate the location along with the officials that manage and maintain it. My designs distill the common threads that run throughout these conversations, fostering a feeling of ownership of and connection with its constituents. My public works, created with materials and finishes that will stand the rigors of use and time, synthesize all of these factors. The Department of Public Safety at Southlake Public Art Project would allow me and my staff to capitalize on all of our expertise developed through the creation and installation of past honorary and memorial sculptures, while also allowing me a chance to apply my abundant creative energy and knowledge of innovative materials to a highly visible location that plays an important role in its community. I have years of experience working within a team of professionals (engineers, architects, contractors, building supervisors, etc.) and would relish the privilege of taking this project from concept to completion. I hope to have the option to describe in greater detail how I would develop a piece for your location that reflects the character of the site, the mission of The Department, and the ethos of The City of Southlake. Sincerely, Tylur French French 5 Tylur French 2129 TroyerAvenue Memphis, TN 38114 901.291.0772 tylur@youngbloodstudio.com YOUNGBLOOD STUDIO At Youngblood Studio all phases of design and fabrication are done in-house, where materials and methods are employed in unorthodox ways. My designs implement historic methods such as painting, casting, and sunlight projection as well as new methods such as LED automation, CNC cut reliefs, and fiberglass lamination. Similarly, I utilize traditional materials such as wood and steel as well as innovative materials such as high -density foam, Dibond, and acrylic plastic. My sculptures and installations are experiential in nature and have become sources of joy, iconic locators, and landmarks for the communities where they reside. My design concepts push and pull against manmade and organic forms. I analyze the sites' natural surroundings, identifying any predominant, key elements that lend the space its overwriting character and observe all points of perspective. I design pieces that have a strong visual presence yet are in harmony with their surroundings. Shapes, scale, and colors are influenced by the character of the site, the symbols of the community, and the desired level of engagement, while also taking into consideration quality, weather, longevity, and easy future maintenance. My goal is to create original designs that will resist people's ability to edit out routine interactions, inviting viewers to experience the works of art anew.

The statues disappear and reappear as viewers move around the sculptures, embodying how those left behind feel simultaneously close and far from lost loved ones. This project was completed within its original budget, including transportation and installation.

The Veteran's Memorial and Support Foundation wanted an eternal flame that would reference the Statue of Liberty's Torch. Conceptualized and manufactured by French, the flame consists of translucent, tinted polycarbonate panels affixed in a stainless steel framework allowing viewers to see the pre-existing bronze cross encapsulated by the flame. This project was completed within the original budget and timeline. The Reading Silo, 2023 stainless steel, concrete, alkyd paint and LED lights 16 ft x 14 ft x 16 ft Cordova Community Library, Cordova, TN Budget: $145,000 4 A izz. French05.JPG The Reading Silo was commissioned by the City of Memphis and is located on a roundabout at the Cordova Community Library. The piece is designed to invite viewer interaction through its arched entryways and legible, interior text and to integrate into its environment as the site's surroundings peek through the text's negative spaces. As sunset occurs on the site, a specially designed light fixture located in the center of the cylinder projects crisp shadows of the text across the surface of the parking lot and onto the face of the library itself. The perforated, metal "silo" cylinder is a play on words, referencing the very personal experience of reading literature along with the communal nature of a culture's collective knowledge. French surveyed 150 community stakeholders including children and adults from area schools and libraries, incorporating selections from the treasured texts and authors into the sculpture's design. He also collected suggestions from staff of foundational people and references.
