Raintree

More images from a busy summer of public art. Raintree is located in the stormwater runoff pond at the newly redesigned Cromwell Park in Shoreline. A collaboration between Public Works and the Parks and Recreation Department, this park was transformed from a flat grass lot to an undulating, functional and more naturalized gathering place.

Many logs were unearthed from the boggy ground during regrading, some of which remain exposed as landscaping features. This work draws influence from them, the purpose of the site, and the flow that occurs between the exchange of water there.

Lace Leaf Bicycle Racks

Lace Leaf Bike Racks are sprouting on the sidewalks of downtown Kent, WA, this spring! Special consideration was given to the function of the racks as well as their style; designed for parking two bicycles, these racks reflect the city's renewed emphasis on health, growth and the natural environment.

Special thanks go to the Kent Downtown Partnership, the Kent Arts Commission, the Kent Planning and Public Works Departments, the panelists on the selection committee, Cheryl dos Remedios, and Dero.
