SCULPTURE COMMISSION |

| The culmination of Kim’s residency with the Paine will be the creation of a new sculpture. The sculpture will be permanently placed in the Paine’s US Bank Garden. This garden area was redesigned in 2000 and was named the US Bank Garden in recognition of the company’s generous support of the new landscaping. The garden design is contemporary and informal in style. The plantings have a wide variety of textures and their foliage and blooms are especially vivid in the autumn. A unique dimension of the garden’s redesign is the intention to display contemporary sculptures along the winding path. Kim viewed the garden and considered possible placements before sketching her proposed sculpture. Her sculpture will be prominently placed on the central “peninsula” created by the looping pathway. The sculpture will be a large urn that is over seven feet tall. The structure will be made of bronze rods that form a lattice-work outlining the surface of the urn. Over two hundred porcelain flowers will drape from the bronze framework in four groupings around the widest section of the urn. Kim is creating the sculpture in her studio at her home and the process is being documented here on the Paine’s website. She expects to finish by September, and the sculpture will be placed in the garden soon afterward. Continue to June Journal |
