My intention was to avoid a literal interpretation of history, but rather to abstract a &quot;historical crossroads&quot; feeling by incorporating shapes, colors, and material that leaves one with nostalgia for Pleasanton's Ohlone Indian and Gold Rush past while at the same time establishing a bold and hopeful feeling for Pleasanton's promising future. Materials: Mild and Corten Steel, Tnemic Paint Size: 30' x 16' x 13' Location: Charles Schwab Corporate Office Park, Pleasanton, CA Created: 2001<br /><br />2 comments ejhiggs 1086984241
