ROCKVILLE MARCHES ON
Marcia Billig (Bethesda, Md.)
From the artist: This bronze sculpture depicts a boy and girl marching as if in a parade. They are celebrating the progress and achievements of the City of Rockville through the centuries. The steps are marked with key dates in growth and expansion of Rockville. The sculpture is six feet high by five feet wide by two feet deep. The cement pedestal is three feet wide by two feet high by two feet deep.
GERMINATE
Erin Magennis and Kyle Ray (Albuquerque, N.M.)
From the artist:The two pillars supporting the central mosaic component represents the City that has formed around the site. An ever-changing composition greets the viewer with every visit; every physical motion will be redefined on this reflective plane. At night, the colors will be muted and unrecognizable, but there will be a sparkle of life present. The sculpture is 12-feet tall by six-feet and six-inches wide.
CLIO
Howard Kalish (Brooklyn, N.Y.)
From the artist:This bronze sculpture, whichcan be seen as a grove of flying book forms, expresses many aspects of the spirit of Rockville, as well as a thematic connection to the new Rockville Library. The name “Clio” is derived from the Greek muse of history. The sculpture is nine and one-half feet tall and 20 feet across.
