Exhibit "A" Sculpture 1: Bloom Bloom will be approximately sixteen feet high. This sculpture will be created using approximately twenty Schedule 40 steel pipes that taper from 2" to 1" ID. They will be bent to weave and twist around themselves, uncoil at the top, and spread out into the sky. A kinetic form at the end of each of the pipes will turn in the wind. Visually this piece will be seen as an active or dancing form that is casting itself outward. Sculpture 2: Pod & Seeds The pod -like form will be approximately twelve feet high. The internal seed -like forms will rise on a central shaft to about fourteen feet (not unlike a Yucca). The Pod will be fabricated using steel plate and welded steel pipe. The steel will be rolled to create a pod shape, on which the steel piping will create a surface that resembles the veins of a plant. The seed forms in the pod will be stainless steel, kinetic, and will shimmer and dance in the wind. Parking Areas A smaller variation of the Bloom sculpture will be installed in the Riverbed Pond area, and a Pod and Seed sculpture will be installed in the Running Deer area. We will need three-foot bases/footings for these sculptures. These sculptures will stand about nine feet high (including three-foot base). We would like the cement of these bases to be tinted to correspond to the colors of the sculptures. Materials The sculptures will be made of Schedule 40 steel pipe, and 3/8th inch and 1/4 inch steel plate. The base plates for attachment will be 1 inch steel disks. Color We will be using Omni color automotive paints, a two part catalyzed paint for maximum exterior durability. The colors palette will include rusts and ochers, and will be related to the natural colors of the area. We will also clear coat the colors for extra durability. Process These drawings and support material are the beginning of the design process. The next step for us is to build a scale model of each of the pieces.

Prospect Rd. The installation consists of four sculptures. One major sculpture will be installed at the Eastern edge of the bridge, and a second major sculpture will answer it on the Western side. A smaller sculpture will be sited at the entrance to each of the two nearby parking areas, River Bend Ponds Park and Running Deer Park. All four sculptures are derived from local seed -like forms and colors, and will include elements that shimmer in the breeze. Our goal is to add a dramatic sculptural component or thematic entranceway to the surrounding natural environment. In developing these sculptures, we worked with the closely Project Team to achieve three goals: • the sculptures must not interfere with the beauty of the natural environment, but rather reflect and enhance that environment the sculptures must work well with the bridge architecture. they must be constructed of durable materials The inspiration for these sculptures was the natural environment of the area. The two main bridge elements are both seed -like, but one will have the movement contained within its pod -like form, while the other will appear to be casting the movement skyward. The two parking area elements or markers will be smaller and not kinetic, but thematically tied to the bridge sculptures. Pods and Blooms will feel organic, and will combine stationary linear forms with kinetic elements. The linear elements refer to the flora of the area, and to the idea of growth. The kinetic elements reflect the subtle changes and movements in nature. Our aim is to create a dance of line and shimmering movement. Bridge Sculptures One major sculpture will be installed at the entrance to the bridge on the East and West side. The sculpture base plates will be bolted directly to the cement footings installed by the engineer/architect. These footings will be 24 inches in diameter and 6 inches high.
