A year-long outdoor public art exhibit in Howard County, Maryland

Gary J. Arthur Community CenterWelded steel, salvaged gas cylinders; 3’6”x3’6”x8’9”Paul Steinkoenig’s Sanctuary II offers an antidote to the strife and division present in today’s society. The sculpture represents the three powerful tenets that bind us together – Faith, Hope, and Love – ringing out as bells whose gentle tones can be heard as they sway with the wind.

Sanctuary II - Faith, Hope, and Love • Paul Steinkoenig

1

Howard County Government, George Howard BuildingPainted steel, cast glass, bluestone; 2’10”x4’x7’2”The circle, present in Glenn Zweygardt’s sculpture for many years, represents a combination of global thinking and local action intent on being kind to, reverent, and considerate of our environment. Crimson Ring represents Zweygardt’s attempt to honor our planet.

Crimson Ring • Glenn Zweygardt2

AIDA Bistro/Corporate Office Properties TrustPolished stainless steel; 2’8”x9’x12’Zig Zag Boogie Woogie was born of Bill Wood’s desire to create a work that is unique from each viewing angle. The piece captures the sunlight and amplifies it on one side, while creating shadows on the other. On nights lit by the moon, it reflects the moonlight to take on a completely different tone.

Zig Zag Boogie Woogie • Bill Wood3

Clarksville CommonsSteel, copper; 3’x4’x7’A fusion of primary colors, contrasting metals, and freeform shapes, The Door in the Woods lends an air of mystery and enchantment to the garden at Clarksville Commons. Chris Plaisted frequently uses diverse materials in his work, believing that the contrasts produce a more dynamic form of expression.

The Door in the Woods • Chris Plaisted6

James & Anne Robinson Nature CenterStained and painted wood; 3’6”x3’6”x7’6”The third in a series, Rybee House 3 is a roofed, functional bench that looks as if it might have been carved from a tree by woodland elves. While Stephen Klema acknowledges that the piece incorporates a definite sense of whimsy and fantasy, he says it also speaks to such archetypal forms as shelter and nature.

Rybee House 3 • Stephen Klema5

North Laurel Community Center & ParkRecycled steel; 3’x7’6”x12’Craig Gray’s sculptures are imbued with a sense of fun and whimsy and can easily be appreciated by viewers of all ages and backgrounds. With Iron Horse, he takes a playful look at the equine form, a subject popular with artists throughout history.

Iron Horse • Craig Gray4

Columbia Association, Slayton HousePainted welded aluminum; 3'6"x4'6"x8'6"Like its counterpart Red Writer, Yellow Stone features flowing, graceful lines that belie the rigid, unyielding nature of the metal from which they are created. Richard Pitts’ work is shaped largely by intuition, often without a specific plan or message. His objective is to activate the imagination.

Yellow Stone • Richard Pitts11

Howard Community CollegeBrushed aluminum; 2’x3’x6’Jeff Chyatte’s sculpture is about balance, imbalance, and exploration. Aptly situated in front of Howard Community College’s Science, Engineering, and Technology building, Affinity 5 was inspired by Euclid, da Vinci, and other great scientists who blurred the lines between art, math, and science.

Affinity 5 • Jeff Chyatte10

Howard County General Hospital Painted welded aluminum; 2'x2'6"x8'Bringing to mind elegant strokes of calligraphy flowing from a fountain pen, Red Writer takes the eye on a journey through space and time. Richard Pitts, whose sculptural style is constantly evolving, believes that the artist ‘s relationship to his materials is an inexhaustible dialogue, ever capable of renewing itself.

Red Writer • Richard Pitts9

The Arc of Howard CountyPainted steel; 2’x7’x8’6”Ark invites viewers aboard a space ‘ship’ pointed toward the stars and loaded with animal passengers. Charles Pilkey designed the work with two interpretations in mind: as a metaphor for our role as captains of Ark Earth; or as a preview of a dystopian future in which we are compelled to escape to other worlds, carrying with us the plants and animals deemed necessary for our survival.

Ark • Charles Pilkey7

Howard County Public School System Administrative OfficesVinyl-wrapped aluminum; 2’x2’x4’7”With Butterfly, Mary Angers explores fractal geometry and its presence in all forms of life. The colored patterns on the sculpture’s wings also represent the graceful butterfly’s humble origins as a caterpillar. Angers often chooses themes related to ecology and the rhythms and cycles of life, designing with an eye towards beauty.

Butterfly • Mary Angers8

Howard County Library System, Central BranchStained black locust wood; 4’x4’x15’A group of white ladders reaching upward from a grey, house-like base, Hallelujah prompts the viewer to reflect on our place in this world and the next. Charlie Brouwer uses common, readily available materials such as black locust to create work that is friendly and approachable as well as ‘constructive’ in terms of what it has to say about the human condition.
