"Tree of Life" by Clay Enoch and the National Sculptors' Guild Coming soon to Downey, California...
"Tree of Life" by Clay Enoch and the National Sculptors' Guild is in the finishing steps of bronze casting at Art Castings of Colorado.
This installation is part of a series of Public Art placements that the City has commissioned from the National Sculptors' Guild for installation in 2020. The bronze and stainless steel sculpture will be placed in the new fountain at the Theater Plaza.
Our design team began working on this project in March of 2019.
Measuring 12-feet tall and 14-feet in diameter, the tree composed of eight life-size bronze figures out stretched from a single column are united by the stainless steel rings they hold; this sculpture is among our most complex figurative monuments to date. We are so excited to see this significant art statement in place. We will update this post as soon as installation is set.
Progression of the project is shown below...
