Seven Runes

'Seven Runes', 1990-92, commissioned by Broward County Art in Public Places for the Headquarters of the Department emphasize a relationship between the architecture, the lake and the surrounding landscape. An earthcut has been made between the lake and the land, creating a wetlands area, indigenous to the South of Florida. Seven fossilized coral limestone structures have been installed, each 8 ft. apart, in a curved formation that moves from the lake to the shallow cutout pool on the land. The seven stones, each approximately 20 tons, stand 15 ft. high x 6 ft. square at the base, tapering to 4 ft. square at the top. The earthcut is 25 ft. long x 16 ft. wide. The overall length of the sculpture is 95 feet.
