ITEM 7.J
DATE: June 18, 2013
MANAGEMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT
TO: The Honorable City Council
MEMORANDUM
FROM: Jose E. Pulido, City Manag
By: Brian Haworth, Assista o the City Manager
SUBJECT: ARTIST SHORT LIST FOR ROSEMEAD BOULEVARD PUBLIC ART
INSTALLATIONS
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Council is requested to:
a) Accept the Public Art Commission's (Commission) recommendation of six artists to
create preliminary artwork concepts for the Rosemead Boulevard Safety
Enhancements and Beautification Project (Rosemead Project);
b) Authorize staff to execute six artist honorariums at $1,000 each to prepare
preliminary design concepts for proposed Rosemead Project public art installations
including sculptures, art pavers and tile murals for seating walls;
c) Authorize the Commission to review the presented preliminary design concepts, and
to recommend three artists to create the Rosemead Project public art installations;
and
d) Direct staff to provide the City Council (Council) with the final recommended list of
three artists and their preliminary designs on August 20, 2013, thus initiating the final
design and fabrication process of public art installations concurrent with the
Rosemead Project construction schedule.
BACKGROUND:
1. On November 20, 2013, Council approved a construction contract with Los Angeles
Engineering for the Rosemead Project to transform the existing roadway into a
"complete street" accommodating the safety and comfort of all users, and creating
new public spaces to attract residents and visitors. The $20.7 million public
City Council
June 18, 2013
Page 2 of 6
investment also introduces the City's first installations of public art including new
sculptures, an art walk and tile murals — all in an effort to give Temple City a stronger
sense of place and identity.
2. On March 23, 2013, the City issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) seeking
credentials from professional artists to design preliminary concepts for Rosemead
Project public art installations (Attachment "A"). To ensure a qualified and
comprehensive candidate pool, the solicitation was circulated beyond normal City
channels to include regional public art organizations and industry listservs.
3. On April 25, 2013, the RFQ closed with the City receiving 48 qualifications from
professional artists across California, nine of which are from the San Gabriel Valley.
The RFQ specifically called for artists working in a variety of mediums and artistic
approaches to potentially be included into a prequalified pool for upcoming public art
opportunities, including those for the Rosemead Project.
4. On April 26, 2013, staff met with members of the then to -be -seated Public Arts
Commission (formally appointed on June 4, 2013) to provide verbal and written
instructions regarding the scoring and selection of artist qualifications for the
Rosemead Project. Members were directed to review all submitted qualifications
independently at home in preparation for a meeting on April 30, 2013, where artists
were screened and selected into a large, pre -qualified pool.
5. On April 30, 2013, the to -be -seated Public Arts Commission (future Commission)
convened and developed a large list of artists, basing scoring and selection upon a
set of criteria pursuant to the RFQ and federal funding requirements. Artists who
received a score of 525 or above—out of a total 700 points—were automatically
selected onto the large -list of prequalified artists for the City to consider when
commissioning public artwork. Of the 48 artists who applied, 29 were selected to the
large -list, and 19 were not (Attachment `B").
6. On May 28, 2013, using the large list of prequalified artists for discussion, the future
Commission met and finalized a collective recommendation to Council of six (6) pre-
qualified artists onto a short-list to design preliminary art concepts for the Rosemead
Project. This action necessitated timeliness to ensure that artwork and fabrication
would align with the Rosemead Project construction schedule, in order to provide
crews ample time to create necessary structural foundations for public art
installments.
The Rosemead Project intends to create vitality and a sense of place by strategically
installing a number of diverse artworks along the corridor's 2.2 -mile span. While the
City Council
June -18,2013
Page 3 of 6
procurement and installation of artworks will occur over a multi -phased and multi-year
process, the initial phase will be completed by June 2014 to include tile murals on four
seating walls, two sculptures, and 23 art pavers and word art locations, comprising a larger
"artwalk" concept. Specific locations of these designated art opportunities are identified on
Attachment "C".
Best practices of public art programs—especially those with federal funding—employ the
use of short and large lists (i.e., after a RFQ or similar solicitation) as a screening process
to retain the most eligible and qualified artists for a specific opportunity. In the case for the
Rosemead Project, which received 48 artist qualifications, the future Commission based
their evaluation on a point score system that assessed:
1. Artistic achievement as demonstrated by resume;
2. Artistic practice as provided by submitted images, and a one page narrative that
explained how the artist would coordinate with the Public Arts Commission in
developing ideas for the art opportunity;
3. Narratives describing the artist's background and experiences in exhibition, studio
work, and/or potential ideas or design concepts for the City's public art program;
4. Ability to demonstrate project development and completion of previous projects,
public art or other experiences (as explained in the one page narrative);
5. Innovative methods and materials as demonstrated by completed works;
6. Consideration of durability and suitability of materials, and practical maintenance
requirements; and
7. Whether the artist is a resident of the San Gabriel Valley.
A large list of 29 artists was subsequently developed and from that list, a short list of the
following six artists was finalized for conceptual design of the Rosemead Project's
seating murals, sculptures and art pavers.
Tile Mural Seating Walls
Artist Profile: Christie Beniston of Solana Beach is an accomplished artist with
numerous public art commissions, including the Port of San Diego and cities of Vista
and Pasadena. Her recent tile mosaic commissions include "Peace to the
Community" at Glendale Adventist Hospital and "Celestial Views" at the Miramonte
Winery in Temecula. She holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from
Arizona State University. In her proposal, Beniston states, "As a public artist, this
opportunity offers the potential to develop symbolic, abstract or representational
City Council
June 18, 2013
Page 4 of 6
work for Temple City that reflects the context and function of the sites and is
consistent with the community's requirements. My process involves researching the
relationship of a site to its surroundings, appreciating the site's role in the community
and understanding the objective for the site. I have had the opportunity on past and
existing projects to create work that was an integral part of an already well-defined
space and that needed to reflect the design and themes of the space."
Artist Profile: A resident of Hacienda Heights, Carole Choucair Oueisan holds a
Bachelors in Fine Arts from the Institut Nationale Des Beaux Arts (Beirut, Lebanon).
She has completed public art mosaic commissions for the cities of Santa Cruz and
Temecula, with work featured in several publications including the book Mosaic
Renaissance. Ms. Ouejian stated in her proposal, "It is always a joy to know that
many cities in the Los Angeles area are seeking artists to add beauty and interest to
their sites, streets and buildings. I use mosaic as the medium for my art, using
different techniques such as Indirect Byzantine and the inverted image process. My
process for design development includes thorough research and sketches that
reflect my ideas." Her work is vibrant and colorful and includes many different types
of materials such as glass, tile, natural stone and found objects.
Sculptures
Artist Profile: Los Angeles sculptor Heath Satow was recently recognized for his
"innovative and creative contribution in the field of public art," with the sculpture
Ripple, winning the 2012 Americans for the Arts' Public Art Network Award. As
Satow has chosen to work primarily in the public art sector, his work with zoos,
airports, museums and other highly trafficked spaces provide excellent examples of
public art that provides a unified site experience and establishes a sense of place.
Satow's formal training as a designer enables him to create sculpture that works
harmoniously with its surroundings, while his artistic instinct provides inspiration and
creativity to produce fresh and distinctive work. His art has been commissioned in
locations across the United States, Hong Kong, Korea and Dubai.
Artist Profile: According to his proposal, artist and sculptor Daniel Stern sees his
role as a public servant and this motivation makes him feel connected to work with
Temple City's community to realize its public arts program. As Chair of the City of
Malibu's Public Art Commission, Stern asserts that art can bring energy, delight and
inspiration to a community on a daily basis. His public artworks have been
commissioned by the cities of San Diego, Coronado, Pasadena and Palm Desert;
and are extremely popular with visitors of all ages, bringing a sense of wonderment
and joy to their various environments.

Art Pavers
Artist Profile: Robin Brailsford of San Ysidro has created unique public art in
various mediums for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA),
the County of San Diego, and the Arts and Science Council (Charlotte, North
Carolina). Ms. Brailsford is also a patent holder of the Litho Mosaic concrete
process, a new standard used in numerous outdoor public art installations. Her
previous commissions have received awards from the American Institute of
Architects and the American Public Works Association. In her proposal, Brailsford
states, "As a public artist, I see my job as recognizing the potential in people, places
and things, and then helping them realize that potential. Until I meet and see and
understand the unique characteristics of Temple City, the community and the team, I
dare not dream up ideas... I relish large and complicated public art challenges, for
which I try to chart clear and comprehensive solutions."
Artist Profile: Pasadena resident and artist Jose Antonio Aguirre is a Fulbright
scholar with degrees in fine arts from the California Institute of Arts and the Art
Institute of Chicago. Working in stone, glass, tile, metal and concrete, his artwork
can be found internationally, with recent local commissions by the Los Angeles
Unified School District and MTA Gold Line Foothill Extension Authority. According to
his proposal, "For over twenty years, I have been producing art works for public
places and sites, including schools, university campuses, promenades, civic plazas,
theme parks and shopping centers in Mexico and the United States. I create art
projects that reflect local roots and emphasize awareness of the location to reveal
community identity."
More information on each artist (via their proposal) can be found in Attachment "D".
NEXT STEPS
Should Council accept the Commission's recommendation of six artists to create
preliminary artwork concepts for the Rosemead Project's seating murals, sculptures and
art pavers, staff will move forward in executing artist honorariums at $1,000 each. An
honorarium is a best practice and ex gratia payment employed by municipalities for public
artworks. In the City's case, payment would be made to the artists to develop their
respective and preliminary artwork concepts without requiring the City to enter into any
legal arrangement for an actual commission.
Pursuant to the honorarium and under auspice of a preliminary art concept, each artist
would be required to prepare a full proposal that includes the following information:
• Line item budget;
• Statement of artwork theme, inspirations and approach;
• Sketches of the proposed artwork that includes dimensions;
City Council
June 18, 2013
Page 6 of 6
• Material samples; and
• Fabrication and delivery schedule.
In line with the Rosemead Project construction schedule, all artist concepts would be
completed and reviewed by the Commission in early August. A final recommendation of
three artists to complete actual artworks will be presented before Council on August 20,
2013. It should be noted that one artist will be recommended and ultimately selected for
each artwork component to allow economies of scale with final design, fabrication and
installation costs; as well as to ensure that artwork integrates well with the Rosemead
Project's architectural style.
Once Council approves the final three artists, staff will work with the City Attorney to
execute contractual agreements. The agreement will require artists to meet with staff and
the City's public art consultant to finalize project milestones, and to prepare a schedule for
the development of preliminary art concepts. The Commission will recommend final design
concepts for Council's ultimate approval, to ensure a complete understanding of the
imagery, as well as the thematic approach each artist intends to use when fabricating
public art for the Rosemead Project. Furthermore, this process guarantees a seamless
integration of artwork onto Rosemead Boulevard, eliminating potential disruptions in the
construction schedule, and ensuring installation is completed and unveiled by June 2014.
CONCLUSION:
The Commission has recommended the selection of six artists to create preliminary
artwork concepts for the Rosemead Project's seating murals, sculptures and art pavers.
Council concurrence with the Commission's recommendation would move forward the
development of preliminary art concepts to ensure that all final public art commissions
and installations align with the Rosemead Project construction schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the fiscal year (FY) 2012-13 City Budget. Funding for the design,
installation and fabrication of artworks is appropriated in the Rosemead Project
construction budget at a cost not to exceed $250,000.

The possibility to create a public work of art to enhance the City of Temple City is a significant
endeavor. It has great possibilities to create outstanding landmarks for this community. Please
receive the enclosed application outlining my experience and qualifications for this project.
For over twenty years, I have been producing art works for public places and sites, including
schools, university campuses, promenades, civic plazas, theme parks and shopping centers in
Mexico and the United States. I create art projects that reflect local roots and emphasize
awareness of the location to reveal community identity. The development of public art projects is
a welcomed challenge that involves collaboration with design teams, architects, landscape
designers, engineers, contractors, city agencies and artists from the conceptual stage to the
completed project. I am an experienced team participant, with a strong record as a fabricator and
installer for other artist's projects.
I specialize in the various stages of design, fabrication and installation of public artworks. My
experience includes large and small-scale projects in a variety of forms and methods. To develop
site-specific artworks that reveal the identity of the region, I engage in a dialog with the
community, collecting local stories, investigating the surrounding environment and analyze the
cultural landscape to place the art in context with its community. This practice improves the
creative process to define the concept in a more expressive way that will be defined by the use of
traditional techniques with the integration of innovative materials, sustainability and technology.
One of my most successful Civic Art projects is a 2200 square feet mural for the East Los
Angeles Library, 145K (Teresa Sanchez, Gruen Associates, sanchez(a),Pruenassociates.com) a
project implemented in two concave towers (40' x 34 ` & 30' x 34') in which we produced a
monumental project with a very limited budget for a third of its real cost. For the private
developer program, I completed the installation of two Byzantine glass mosaic fountains and
mural for Village Walk in Tarzana, California, 202K (Bryan Gordon, Pacific Equity Properties,
bgordon@pacequity.com). In the public 1% program, I completed the installation of nine
limestone sculptures (integrating byzantine glass mosaic, fusion and stained glass and black
granite) for the Valley Boulevard Grade Separation Project, commissioned by the City of Los
Angeles, 226K (Ligeia Gone, Department of Cultural Affairs -Public Art program, 213-202-
5546, Ligeia.Gone@lacity.org).
I am confident that my resume demonstrates the successful completion of public art projects,
shows my ability to meet specific goals and indicates my commitment to complete the design,
fabrication and installation of projects within budget and on time.
Sincerely,
Josd Antonio Aguirre

Christie Beniston Narrative — Temple City
As a public artist this opportunity offers the opportunity to develop symbolic, abstract or
representational work for Temple City that reflects the context and function of the sites and is
consistent with the community requirements. My process involves researching the relationship
of a site to its surroundings, appreciating the site's role in the community, and understanding the
objective for the site. I have had the opportunity on past and existing projects to create work that
was an integral part of an already well-defined space and that needed to reflect the design and
themes of the space. As an example, when designing the murals for Rady Children's Hospital, I
knew that the artwork needed to be representational to define the way finding for each floor but
also needed to be tactile and on a scale that the smallest visitor could enjoy By contrast, the
requirements for my artwork for the San Diego Airport allowed for an installation that would
communicate on an abstract level A moving band of light created a viewing experience that
illuminates time as well as highlights the theme of travel. The opportunity to develop a design
consistent with both the unique settings within Temple City and the community's objectives
excites my interest.
I have experience working with a variety of suitable outdoor materials that will provide aesthetic
solutions that are durable and permanent. For example, I have created mosaics for fountains,
such as my Marview entry courtyard project. In my series of mosaics for the exterior wall of the
Solana Beach Library I combined glass with handmade ceramic relief elements in the mosaic
and also designed the mosaics to be housed and lit within a dimensional metal framework. I
have a range of styles of mosaic and materials that I use, and I have the ability to create
handmade tile that can be combined along with commercial tile or glass. My work is not limited
to mosaic, I have also worked with terrazzo, specialty concrete and synthetic materials. I am
also interested in exploring new and innovative approaches and techniques including
embedding text and silk-screening photographic images on custom tiles as a means of
capturing a community's unique personality in the work. I am the researcher, artist, designer
and fabricator on all of my projects.
I began working in ceramics more than three decades ago, and I took my first step into public
art in 2003 with my large-scale sculpture "Tree Rings' selected by the Port of San Diego for
inclusion in the Urban Tree Sculpture exhibition. Since that time, I have focused significant
energy on public art projects, and my current projects involve a mix of both public projects and
private commissions. As detailed in my professional resume, I have created larger scale
projects for a number of different municipalities as well as projects for private entities for display
in their common areas. Publicly accessible projects provide the opportunity to speak to the
largest audience and to deliver to them a visual experience designed to enhance their daily
routines. It is the opportunity to contribute to both the enjoyment of the individuals and to the
community that makes public art projects particularly appealing.
I enjoy the opportunity to work with specific prompts and parameters designed to inspire the
artist towards a successful public art project. I look forward to learning more about the identified
projects and working with the stakeholders to create unique public art for Temple City.

TEMPLE CITY PUBLIC ART COMMITTEE - Robin Brailsford Narrative April 10, 2013
Hello, and thank you for inviting me to compete for a slot on the Temple City PA Roster.
Ah, where to begin?
San Gabriel Valley knowledge? check Finesse with scale, budgets and people? check
Streets and traffic Expertise? check Driving distance from studio? check
Conceptual versatility? check Brainstorming whiz? check Apt skills? check
What about my Process, Philosophy and Metaphor?
Temple City and Gruen Architects, have in the Rosemead Boulevard Proiect, planned for exactly
the sort of street improvement project for which I have vast experience (Santa Monica, Long
Beach, San Diego, LA, Phoenix etc.) and for which I have developed a new technique —
LithoMosaic - that you will see in the images, and that marries the color, beauty and history of
mosaics (perfect in a Southern California sun) to the scale, durability and installation of new,
monolithic concrete pours, which I see will be evident on Rosemead Boulevard sidewalks and
intersections. I also know that from all this experience that every opportunity is a brand new
day. I take each project for the joy and opportunity it present. All require individual artistic
research, outreach and brainstorming, culminating in an experience not unlike a trip through
grad school. Each new big project requires the time, work and dedication of an MFA, with a
winning dissertation and permanent exhibition, required for" graduation."
As a public artist, I see my job as recognizing the potential in people, places and things, and
then helping them realize that potential. Until I meet and see and understand the unique
characteristics of Temple City, the community and the team, I dare not dream up ideas.
However, to some, I am known as The Good Ideas Woman. I relish large and complicated
public art challenges, for which I try to chart clear and comprehensive solutions. I am at my
best when given the latitude to imagine and then realize holistic conceptual and physical
solutions for daunting civic and environmental requirements. For well over 2 decades I have
been creating award-winning projects, on time, within budget and to the clients', community's
and my own highest aesthetic and technical expectations. As Brailsford Public Art, I have a
diverse team of talent upon which I can draw. My forte' is the design and construction of
concrete, mosaic, metal, text, light, reflectivity and landscape.
BPA LLC is a California WBE and we are insured for $1,000,000.
Thank you so much- I very much forward to meeting you, and getting to work on Temple City

SELECTED COMPLETED PUBLIC ART COMMISSIONS
CITY OF HENDERSON, Henderson, Nevada. ESCHER'S LIZARDS - with Wick Alexander, TB Penick and Southwick
Landscape Architects we are just now completing the fabrication of 10, thirteen foot lizards based on MC Escher's
interlocking tesselations, and UNLV Professor Paula Jacoby- Garrett's collection of native lizards. Installation, April, 2011.
$85,000.
SPRING MOUNTAIN RESERVE, United States Forest Service, Mt. Charleston, Nevada. I completed a written 200
page/3000 photograph study for SeaReach and the USFS, as the Arts Interpretive Specialist for the 312,000 Spring
Mountain National Recreation Area. The USFS has created a unique opportunity for a design team to craft expansive
conceptual thinking, and consider for the first time, public art as an integral element of an American National Forest. 2008
-2009.
CAPITOL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS, Water Utilities Department, City of San Diego, CA. Since 1996 1 have been the
Public Artist on the $200,000,000, Miramar Water Treatment Plant. Working closely with 37 engineers on the CDM design
team, as well as many architects and landscape architects, my "Stream of Consciousness/Body of Water" embraces the
reservoir and enhances the public interpretation of the facility's post 9/11 high security campus. My Rococo mosaic
waterfall; 'Taliesin' retaining walls; ecru, teal and aqua -marine, epoxy terrazzo floors of aluminum "molecule men" and
water word play, are finished and looking terrific. Twenty tons of rocks, which I selected, placed and set in a Zen -like river
bed and beach shelf of "The Last Canyon of the Colorado", are also done. This spring my 3000 sq. feet of tessellated
copper quartzite in the "Last Canyon of the Colorado," was installed. The street entrance is stalled midway in the design
phase, waiting out the City's economic troubles. 1997 — 2011.
ARTS COUNCIL, Frisco, Texas. Four parks projects in this RR era suburb of Dallas have occupied much of 2005/2009 for
me. Working with different LA teams for each park:
Southeast Community Sports Park — based on early photography, "Field of Play," features a 7" anamorphosis
cone and reflected baseball Double Play in rustic terrazzo, female soccer players in B&W mosaic, and football
zoetropes. $143,500. 2008.
Falcon Fields — a series of mosaic pavers re-examines a 15th C French calendar. February depicts a peasant
breaking frozen fields with a pick, June a prince on horseback with his falcon. $16,450. 2007.
J C. Grant —a 7' x 10' x 1' draft horse silhouette in chocolate quartzite "leads" a Conestoga wagon atone end of
a timeline. At the other, Mr. Grants' signature and track houses were planned to be cut in steel, back benches,
and cast shadows on a plaza wired for the internet. $16,450 2008.
Shepherd's Glen — "Black and White and Read All Over' is a series of alphabet sheep created of metal and
mosaic, and a summerful poem by Frances Wosmek set in tile on stone tablets. There will also be an annual
poetry and kite flying contest as part of this young community based work $16,450. 2009.
ARTS AND SCIENCE COUNCIL, Charlotte, North Carolina. Fred Chappell and I won the $117,000 public art project for
the new Mecklenburg County Courthouse. Mr. Chappell is the North Carolina, State Poet Lauriat Emeritus. Our lapidary
text, WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT poetically interprets the state motto, "Esse Quam Videre."
Dedicated - February, 2006.
LOS ANGELES CULTURAL AFFAIRS, Los Angeles, California. It has been my privilege to design three commissions for
a developer's new buildings in the LA's chaotic garment district. One piece integrates neon and mosaic into a 35' tall
virtual water feature, another through a series of 12 pavers in the sidewalks, tells the story of one pair of red bellbottoms,
from design inspiration to Shanghai fabrication to LA Garment District sale. The third posits a set of 12' ruby red lips on a
telescope tripod on a rooftop. $150,000 2003 - 2007.
THE WALL/LAS MEMORIAS, Los Angeles, CA. Lead artist, to design, coordinate and build world's first memorial for
Latinos who have died of AIDS. Land and hardscape plan, monument fabrication and 6 artists in residence at porcelain
enameling factory $500,000. Dedications by Dion Warwick 12/1/04, and by Governor Bill Richardson 9/6/07.

reception areas of mental health outpatient facility. $48,000. Dedicated 5/27/03.
PHOENIX ARTS COMMISSION, City of Phoenix, AZ. The 12 bus bay, Ed Pastor Transit Mall was a collaboration
between myself as Lead Artist and DEA Planners and Engineers, and Durant Architects. My artwork

Project: Temple City Public Arts, Rosemead Blvd. Project
To the Members of the City's Public Arts Commission,
It is always ajoy to know that many cities in the LA area are seeking artists to add beauty and
interest to their sites, streets and buildings. As an artist who has contributed works to the cities of
Temecula and Santa Cruz, as well as working for many years on private commissions, I feel confident
that I can offer very much to your city.
I use mosaic as the medium for my art, using different techniques such as Indirect Byzantine, a
inverted image process, which gives a very smooth touch to mosaics and makes them safe for everyone to
touch, even small children. Mosaics can be installed into floors, murals or even sculptures and are the
answer for colorful, interesting and most importantly, lasting works of art. Working with mosaics gives
the option to use many earthly materials, such as glass, natural stone or even found objects, which allow
for indoor and outdoor installations without the worry of damage and future maintenance.
I start the process by meeting the Public Arts Commission, presenting my work and sharing
experiences and images of my work -in -progress from previous projects, followed by thorough research
and sketches that reflect my ideas. After gaining approval from the Public Arts Commission, the next step
is to enlarge the drawings to the proper actual size and paint them with watercolor. After another
presentation and appropriate approval, l would start the mosaic work. Every month, photos of the work-
in -progress are sent to the Public Arts Commission to show the stages of completion. Working on the
piece from home enables me to work anytime of the day, while keeping the street clear for normal activity
until the onsite installation which can take anywhere from one to three days.
It would be great to work with children and organizations who would like to be part of the
process. Everyone would be able to revisit the piece and recognize his or her contribution to the city. All
the extra planning of working with outside groups would be worth it because it would then truly become
the community's artwork, bringing the people together.
I would love to be part of this project and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to meet with you and
discuss all the exciting options for this new piece of public art.
Sincerely,
Carole Choucair Oucijan

I've been designing public art for over twenty years and I love what I do. I enjoy the challenge of creating art that
appeals to a diverse audience; from children to art critics. My sculpture Ripple was recognized as an "innovative and
creative contribution in the field of public art", winning the 2012 Americans for the Arts' Public Art Network ANvard.
Before embarking upon my career as a full-time independent sculptor nearly two decades ago, I ran the sculpture
department of a sculpture and architecture firm. That experience made me very familiar and comfortable with working
in a group setting. I've found that a good committee can be extremely helpful in verifying and expanding upon the
outside research that I do for each site location before beginning the design process.
My Artistic Process:
Space Analysis — Whether it's by visiting the actual location or building a 3D virtual model from drawings or photos, I
need to experience the space for inspiration. How does the space feel? What sort of form is it calling for?
Preliminary Local Research — I believe that art should help us see ourselves differently or tell us something new about
ourselves. I research what's important to the people of the area, so there's an organic connection on a community and
personal level with the initial design inspirations.
Conznnnenity Analhsis/Engagenaerrt— After being selected to create the work, the process of more deeply engaging the
community begins. The art needs to resonate with the area in which it's located. Sometimes the art committee is very
clear on elements that they feel need to be represented and sometimes we go directly to the community/focus groups.
It's my job as an artist to take that information and use it as a springboard for artistic inspiration and direction.
I assign a project manager to each project to coordinate all of the community outreach with the design committee, both
pre- and post design phase.
Drarvings — I create 3D CAD virtual models of the work that translate into easily understood drawings/renderings.
These accurate scale renderings take into consideration the important aspects of the sculpture's interaction with the site,
such as weight, scale, viewing angles, reflections, and lighting (both natural and artificial).
These renderings facilitate important communications between myself, the project architect, and engineers. This
process is important in making sure the art is well understood before it is installed and any issues can be dealt with
before everything is complete.
Fabrication — We build everything in-house in our large Los Angeles warehouse studio, using direct fabrication
techniques that minimize material waste. This serves two goals:
a) decreasing production costs, thus allowing a more significantly scaled artwork to be created
b) reducing waste for a more "green" production process
We are directly involved with every last step of the process from crating the work for shipping to installation. We
understand the project better than anyone, and are deeply involved with every aspect needed to complete the work on
budget and on time.
All the materials I use are durable and virtually maintenance -free, often stainless steel. My focus has always been on
utilizing the natural qualities of metals and other materials to create contemporary yet inviting interpretive sculpture.
My sculptures located in zoos, airports, museums and other highly trafficked locations are examples of art that can
withstand interactive touching and harsh environmental elements. �j//

Heath Satow was recently recognized for his "innovative and creative contribution in the field of public
art', with the sculpture Ripple, winning the 2012 Americans for the Arts' Public Art Network Award. As
Satow has chosen to work primarily in the public art sector, his work with zoos, airports, museums and
other highly trafficked spaces are excellent examples of public art that provides a unified site experience
and establishes a sense of place.
Satow's formal training as a designer enables him to create sculpture that works harmoniously with its
surroundings, while his artistic instinct provides inspiration and creativity to produce fresh and distinctive
work. His art has been commissioned in locations across the United States, Hong Kong, Korea, and Dubai.
These works have become icons and points of reference for the communities in which they are located.
Satow's artistic focus is to utilize the natural qualities of metals and other materials to create contemporary
yet inviting interpretive sculpture. He designs each sculpture specifically for it's location and to meet the
goals of the project. His forte in the public art arena is the ability to effectively communicate
institution/municipality message and engage the viewer with his artistic and interpretive abilities.
Passionately committed to environmentally sustainable design, all of Satow's materials are durable and
virtually maintenance -free. His sculptures are created through direct fabrication, with all metals being
100% recyclable, and all scraps fully recycled.
Education
1991 School of Design, North Carolina State University — Graduated with honors with a
concentration in sculpture. Received 1991 Faculty Award for Excellence in Design.
1988-1993 Apprenticed under sculptor Thomas Sayre at Clearscapes in Raleigh, North Carolina
Experience
Satow's initial practical world experience ran concurrently with his college education by working at
Clearscapes Sculpture Studio during his studies. Upon graduation he was promoted to Studio Director,
overseeing design, budgeting, fabrication, and installation of all projects, including several large-scale
public art pieces. After two more years of successfully running the studio, he left to begin his full time
career creating public sculpture in 1993.

Having spent my entire adult life as an actor, writer and director in theater and films, I have
essentially been bred to tell stories to audiences. The stories that appeal to me most involve
humor, passion, the examination of human foibles, action and a feeling of hope and connection
with my fellow humans. My work as a sculptor is a continuation of my work as an actor and
filmmaker. In this new medium I am still creating characters and capturing a scene, a singular
frame of film suspended in three -dimensions.
My work as a public servant makes me feel connected to the desire of the City of Temple City to
expand art in the Art in Public Places program. I am now Chair of the Malibu Public Art
Commission. I volunteered and was chosen to be on this commission because I believe it is so
important to engage citizens through public art. Art can bring energy, delight and inspiration to
the community on a daily basis.
My background as a film director contributes to my deep understanding of how to help bring
coherence to a vision and work with a team towards a common artistic goal. As a founder of
Malibu Foundation for Youth and Families, whose mission is to better the lives of the youth and
families in our community, (recognized by President Obama with our nation's Call to Service
Award), I have a special, personal bond with children and families. My "Home Alone "movies
have forged a connection in spirit and laughter with families all over the world and that is one of
the great blessings of my life. The public art projects I have done in San Diego, Coronado,
Pasadena and Palm Desert have been extremely popular with visitors of all ages, bringing a sense
of wonderment and joy to their various environments. I have tried to use whatever attention my
artistic life has brought me to shine a spotlight on those projects that make the world a better
place.
It would be my honor and privilege to use all of my artistic skills to assist the City of Temple
City in their mission to design public art for City initiated projects. I would be thrilled to work
with you and have my sculptures bringing a smile to the faces of those traveling on the
Rosemead Boulevard, playing in the park, biking down the bikeway or shopping at the new retail
Gate Project. I look forward to hearing from you.
