Editor: We hope to have more in-depth information on these  sculptures next time.

 

This picture was in the Arlington Times and is about the best affirmation and the greatest compliment for my art. This is the reason I make art.

 

On the Arlington Centennial trail are sculptures by Reg Akright, Nicky Oberholtzer, Pete Welty, Lance Carlton, and me.

 

The sculptures are on loan to the City of Arlington for one year. The sculpture in the photo is of gray andesite, about 6 feet high. Two vertical ribbons of Rune writing are inscribed on it. The runes are English words written in rune format, readable to folks after a moment of contemplation.

 

The inscription reads: “Dedicated to the Beauty of Earth.” A leaf is chiseled on the other side of the sculpture.

 

The little boy came by, stopped, and was really interested in the work. One of the park workers captured the photo; it was entirely spontaneous.
