2019 Art on the Street- Art on Loan Program.
"'Kimiko' came about as a commission from some acquaintances who asked me to create two pedestal size bronzes - one of their son and one their daughter, Kimi. They wanted Kimi dressed in a kimono that relatives had sent her from Japan. As typical, the kimono had a very ornate design. The challenge was to depict the intricacies of the costume without getting so literal with the details that they would interfere with the graceful, but subtle gesture I was trying to capture. Kimi's parents were very pleased with the results. I too was very happy with the results - enough so that I created the larger version with Kimi's full name, Kimiko, a few years later. It is an honor to have it displayed in Lafayette this year."
