CloseSpringstar Sculpture
Santa Fe Springs, CA United States | 2004
2004
Located on the traffic island at the entrance to the Golden Springs Development Company property, the Springstar sculpture is supported by 12 assemblies of hot-dip galvanized plate, pipe and cable anchors that would be inaccessible after installation. The desire to never have to maintain the base and the complete zinc coverage throughout the base assembly were important factors in the decision-making process. Also key to the success of the sculpture was collaborative teamwork between the artist, engineer, fabricator and galvanizer to ensure quality corrosion protection without compromising the sculpture's dimensions and shape.
The sculpture seeks to embody feeling of up-welling, ascending from the earth and rising spirits that are implicit in the name and history of the Golden Springs Development Company.
