Currently in fabrication, this project is a design collaboration with the Social Design Collective for a public art work in the City of Santa Ana and was part of a competition based selection process. The art work will be located on private property but located outdoors at the street level and viewable/accessible to the general public and neighborhood. The public sculpture will be part of a new residential development that the Owner is developing in cooperation with the City of Santa Ana. The residential development will provide high quality affordable housing for low-income large families. The location of public art on the site is envisioned as a center of community for the Lacy neighborhood, across from Garfield Elementary School and directly in front of a small retail space located on the ground floor of Triada Court. The location for the proposed art work suggests a free standing sculpture, however, there is also potential for art work to be integrated into property hardscape such as decorative tile-work on outdoor benches or decorative paving/tile-work in this location.
The concept of the story circle was created as part of a community outreach project associated with the Garfield Elementary School located across the street from the site. The sculpture will serve as a space where children can sit and share stories and create their own histories about their world. The school currently does not have an arts curriculum so members of the Social Design Collective created an adjunct curriculum focusing on creativity, the arts, and design to supplement the schools current curriculum.
