COUNTY News:
The Los Alamos Art in Public Places Board and the Community Services Department invite the community to the dedication of East Looking West, by Don Taylor, 10 a.m. Tuesday, June 14 at the Los Alamos County Airport.
Then again for a dedication of Perspective, a solar water fountain, by Greg Robertson at the White Rock Community Garden, next to the old Time Out Pizza in White Rock, 10 a.m. Thursday, June 16.
East Looking West was an Art in Public Places project completed in late 2019 and due to the timing of the COVID-19 Pandemic, an art dedication has not been able to be scheduled until now. East Looking West is a 48” x 36” digital chromogenic print on Fuji Crystal archive material and is the view of the final approach to the Los Alamos County Airport. It shows the runway and the beautiful surrounding area.
Perspective was the result of a Call for Art in 2020, in response to a request from the White Rock Community Garden members for a solar water fountain within the space. The piece was installed in late 2021. Perspective is a hand carved and hand polished natural stone, that stands 5’4” tall, and has water flowing from the top of the stone that runs down the entirety of the piece. The holes allow the viewer to look through the piece, using the backdrop of other parts of the garden to build a more interactive sculpture.
“I am honored to share my work with my friends, associates, and all of the people of the White Rock community,” Robertson said. “After showing my work all over the Southwest, it brings me great joy to have a public installation so close to home.”
