"The City" 
 
The creation of a public sculpture.
San Francisco, California

This project came to life from the support of The Patson Companies.  
David Harrison and Ian Paget were instrumental in creating this public sculpture.  It required approvals from the Arts Commission, Dept of Public Works, ADA, and SF Planning Dept.  The creation of the sculpture was the easy part.
