NEW INSTALLATIONS:

Mars Gate by Scott Sustek
Diana by Scott Sustek
Sustek will be featured at the next ARTS Encounters May 31st/June 1st!

  
Lysaght's Cycladics: Then and Now is installed. A 98' crane from Perry's Cranes in Kerrville skillfully lifted the huge limestone heads more than 30' in the air, lowered them onto the steel pipes with less than an inch clearance, as each stone slid down to rest on the pipes as Lysaght planned. Photos and installation video will be added to the website soon.




Shinobi, by Rick Cunningham sits on the site of his sculpture, Stealth which was sold and is
being installed on a ranch preserve southest of Dallas. Shinobi is 9'3" tall, hand forged welded steel.
