Flourish
abstract, sculpture, organic, water
I am most often driven to use a plasma cutter and welder to create 3-dimensional steel sculptures and mixed media sculptures. I prefer to use the inherent colors of the metal and add color by heating with a torch or by rusting it to produce a rich natural patina. I am always creating something whether it be a wall sculpture, jewelry, or yard art. Karman Rheault.

Crosswater, 47 28' 46"
abstract, geometric, nature
Intended as a gathering space for students, this work reflects the iconography and history of the northern Minnesota landscape. The sculptural elements suggest water (boat benches), sky (dome/mound with star drawings), and the landscape (cast bronze branches). Inscribed into the bronze branches are the poetic journal writings of Joseph Nicollet as he explored the Mississippi headwaters region. Detailing the cause and effect found in nature, he concludes with the destiny of the environment upon the mapping of the region by 19th century explorers. -- janetlofquist.com

Falls Thief
abstract, geometric
A multi-part sculpture placed along several walls of the Administration building. One wall includes cast bronze and painted aluminum shapes, including a propellor on a pole (giving the illusion of slicing through the building); a triangular grid pattern painted royal blue; another grid pattern painted blue, and a fourth boat-shaped piece of aluminum painted yellow. A cast bronze rope threads through the first three pieces. The fifth piece attaches to the main body of the Administration building and is composed of six 'rays' of aluminum, painted blue. -- Smithsonian National Inventory
