King County Housing Authority
Greenbridge is a redevelopment of a 1940’s county subsidized project
into a mixed income, high density, sustainable neighborhood with a
“town center”. Law's project dealt with the main street. Faced with
modest budgets, Law developed three massive wood sculptures that
were realized with
a chain saw carver. The three sculptures are spaced down the
four-block street – figurative presences that are benevolently
standing watch and
populating the street. Each sculpture was sawn, then hand-finished
and stained. Wrought iron “tops” complete the forms.
The first one has been installed. The other two will be installed in
2008 when future construction of buildings is complete.
