Description:

Bloom is suspended in the 2-story glass enclosed atrium of a new building on the campus of Everett Community College. It fills the space above the lobby with color and form and can be viewed from the bridge, staircase, adjacent offices, classrooms and when approaching from the exterior. Expressive of how a flower changes and grows as it comes into full bloom, the sculpture begins on one end of the atrium as a small bud developing into a flower in full bloom as it spans a length of 3’’. With the goal of creating artwork with high LED standards, the sculpture is constructed from a co-polyester resin produced from recycled post-industrial regrind. 700 energy efficient LED lights are imbedded into the petals of the sculpture. A computer controlled light system creates a variable pattern of color and light programmed to transform slowly through a 24-hour cycle that changes seasonally.
