Vessels is a new public art installation in San Marcos at Texas State University Campus in front of the Moore Street Residential Complex. RE:site is the Artist team led by Norman Lee and Shane Allbritton and Metalab is providing architecture and project management services. Vessels features water jet cut stainless steel forms that poetically evoke both leaves and canoes. The water jet cut patterns are organic leaf designs that have been parametrically generated to create a visual effect that allows sunlight to pass through to produce a gradient field of dappled light. The forms are supported by long sculptural oars that reinforce the vessels metaphor and position the water jet cut forms above viewers, creating dynamic shadow patterns that change throughout the day.

Sunburst is a new public art installation in Scottsdale at Skysong Innovation Center. RE:site is the Artist team led by Norman Lee and Shane Allbritton and Metalab is providing architecture and project management services. This sculptural form features three stainless steel framework rings that are embedded with color-changing dichroic glass panels. The three rings are connected in a relative three-axis relationship, inspired by the form of a spherical astrolabe. Raised up by cables to float above a pedestrian corner, the resulting form is a dramatic, radiant gesture that celebrates the convergence of data, technology, and the global economy. The title of the artwork, Sunburst, has multiple layers of meaning. The Sun is central to ASU symbolism and the natural environment of Arizona. As the bright Arizona sun travels overhead, the sculpture’s dichroic glass panels change color, transparency, and reflectivity.
