Overview
One of the most delightful parts of Public Art fabrication is having the work on your campus to greet you and cheer you every day. Artist Sofie Ramos presented us with a 1/10 scale model of a highly-stylized slice of cake sculpture. Chocolate Cake with Rainbow Sprinkles is made of steel, wood, acrylic, foam and concrete. This 10-foot-tall sculpture is a ‘playful but complex meditation on decadence, indulgence, and festivity.’
Goals
Helping artists create large-scale experiential art requires engineering expertise and artistic expertise to realize the artist’s vision in the most truly accurate way possible. Experiential Pop-Art built for people to enjoy and interact with requires Placemaking expertise.
Process
