January 5,1�388 <br />ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br />1335 South Brown Road <br />Orono, HN 55323 <br />For Livingston Tower Park I have created a model for a <br />functional sculpture. The final form will be a bronze <br />pedestal bird bath measuring approximately 3F" in height <br />and 30" in diameter. The surface of the sculpture will <br />appear to be made of bundled willow branches. In the bath <br />area I will place cast bronze leaves wnich will appear to <br />float on the surface of the water. Small holes rlaced under <br />these leaves will keep the water from rising above the level <br />of the leaves. <br />There are several reasons why I created this specific <br />sculpture. The shape I chose echoes the form and function <br />of the water tourer. The bundled willow branches were used <br />because the willow tr.:e is typically f,)und near water. This <br />i«•a-4e see:ued fittinc; for the surface of the sculpture. Final- <br />ly, the concept of leaves floating on the water ber'or,es a <br />metaphor for rest and contemplation.. <br />The sculpture will be secured to the earth using a 1'xl'x4' <br />concrete footinn. A bracs•rink will be set into the footing <br />which fits within the base of the sculpture. I will then bolt <br />the sculpture to the rin; anJ ;rind the bolt heads to match <br />the surface of the sculpture. <br />The patina (metal color) will be reddish -brown. Over the <br />years the patina will darken and obtain new colors as the <br />weather affects it. The surface of the :sculpture will be <br />maintenarice-free. <br />I will be happy to answer any questions about the sculpture. <br />My home phone number is j26-5934. Thank you for your con- <br />sideration. <br />Very trlil.y yours, <br />Nicholas Legeros <br />4433 Brookside Terrace <br />Edina, gill 5543() <br />y2b-5v34 <br />
