- Biographical Information
- I chose the key as a symbol of knowledge and guardianship in the realm of public safety. The key and stone sculptures' distinct silhouettes serve as plaza sentinels, offering entry to the great lawn and opportunities to pause and reflect. The stone sculptures, cut from one piece of columnar basalt, disassembled and rearranged, metaphorically unlock understanding and provide solutions. The columnar basalt exterior is left in its natural state. As the shapes emerged, different surfaces were cut, flamed and polished. The stone's glossy surfaces echo images of passersby and reflect natural light. The installation captures the qualities of protection, service and knowledge. (Beyette, 2006)
