OUR COMMUNITY
Gordon Huether (Napa, Calif.)
From the artist:This triptych or “three fold” sculpture is based on the form of a traditional house. The house is a powerful symbol of home and community. The formal arrangement of three “houses” also speaks to idea of a Town Square— the center of community. The three “houses” are made of rock, glass and stainless steel and vary in size from seven to nine feet tall.
UNTITLED
Gary Hughes (Glen Echo, Md.
From the artist:As you walk in Rockville, there is a rich diversity: People of many shapes and sizes, many colors and beliefs, young and old. This bronze sculpture represents a mosaic of busy, energetic people enjoying the weather as a tribute and symbol of our culture as well as Rockville, an American town. The seven bronze figures range from two to five feet tall. The pedestal is six feet by three feet.
SYNERGY
Barton Rubenstein (Chevy Chase, Md.)
From the artist:This stainless steel water sculpture has six elements representing human forms. Different heights, shapes, orientation and water patterns make up its unique attributes. With continuous movement of water and reflective surfaces, each of the sculptures take on a different personality depending on the weather and time of day. The six sculptures range in height between five and nine feet tall.
CHILD WITH DOVE
Esther Wertheimer (Boca Raton, Fla.)
From the artist: This sculpture mirrors the Rockville struggle for freedom. Each generation circles unto itself in an ark continuity, linking the present with the past. The bronze sculpture is an example of positive ideals and promises of tomorrow. The three figures total 12 feet tall. The pedestal is 12 feet tall.
