This is the Arching Chime installed in SE Portland for Lou Ann and Patricia. The face of the chime was designed to be viewed from the deck while the full body possesses the space from all angles. The piece is bolted to a concrete footing. It was inspired by the steel hoops of a vintage redwood hot tub. The paint matches the highlight colors of the house.
The spa chime was created from a swedish hot tub. There is lot of texture in the surface of this piece. Three hoops hang from an industrial hook which is attached to the tip of the arching stand. The base is staked into the soil with a three prongs. 5 ‘ H in total, chime is 20″ H.
This will be available with many new pieces at my next show, ArtBurst, at Marylhurst University.
