"Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the
complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity."

"Collaborage"

This sculpture project is in two parts: the making of the work, and the Dallas exhibition of the work in Sept of 2010 at the Eisemann Center. $1,500 in cash and prizes will be awarded at our opening reception by three jurors. Each artist within a small group of approximately three people began a sculpture. Each group member then takes a turn working on each sculpture. This local project of artists in central and north Texas emphasizes communication in working together to create an integrated vision within each group, in order to produce cohesive finished sculptures of contemporary and fine art. All works come to completion this Summer. For more info on our Collaborage exhibition, see Artful Events page.

Meta-Organica ~ Mixed Media Water Sculpture

SKU # J5 ~ Cassandra Fink

This piece is the first in a series and was designed to entertain underwater creatures as well as land creatures. Each custom-made pond sculpture is durable outdoor multi-purpose art for the pond, aerating the water for healthier fish, and incorporating all 4 elements –

Fire: Solar powered lighting at night-time makes the sculpture glow from within like fireflies playing hide-and-seek.

Water: Sculpture's water pump/fountain puts healthy negative ions into the air, and oxygen into the water to keep your fish happy. Holes in base allow fish to do some fun exploring.

Earth: Amethyst, smoky quartz crystal clusters, copper, resin, carved plastic and slumped glass make the piece heavier than it looks and ground it to the pond floor.

Air: Exposure to the elements outdoors encourages random zephyrs to breeze through and it makes a great landing pad for dragonflies!

This custom-made pond sculpture can be ordered in other shapes or sizes; each is one of a kind and completely original. Please inquire on prices. Contrary to outdated information, copper sculpture in a pond is not a problem for Koi health. (Long term proof of healthy Koi residing in a pond with copper metal over many years has now been shown, and can be provided to you upon request).
