Let's Go Fly a Kite
by Paula Christensen
Inspired by Project 412’s “Cool Kites on the Lake” event and the timeless charm of Mary Poppins, this piece captures a sense of joy and imagination. Constructed from durable materials including canvas, vinyl, zippers, and rope, the work is designed to embrace the simple pleasure of creativity in motion.
Winter Flurries
by Nick Piche
This winter sculpture transforms recycled steel, wood, and plastic scraps into a pinwheel inspired by the delicate geometry of a snowflake. A familiar garden decoration is reimagined with glittering elements that catch the light and reflect the quiet rhythm of falling snow.
