Sculpture Fabricators has recently completed fabricating and installing a sculpture triptych for the Monterey, Buena vista and Garfield public art project in the city of San Luis Obispo. The theme of the project began with the idea of a gateway. In thinking about the theme of a gateway to San Luis Obispo the artist wanted to create forms that were inviting, as if to be offering the city as a gift, or to be passing down a legacy for generations to come. Therefore the title of the work is Bequest.

The sculptures are dancing figures, balancing on cube like forms, with their arms invitingly extending towards various directions of the city. The three sculptures are essentially the same design, however, they would vary in scale and orientation. The largest most centrally positioned sculpture has its arms extended parallel to Monterey Street pointing towards downtown. It is 15 feet tall. The two flanking sculptures are 12 and 9 feet tall.

The sculptures tryptych is fabricated out of 316 L stainless steel. 316 L stainless is a high quality stainless, which is strong and suitable to withstand several types of climate. It is able to withstand expansion and contraction from extreme changes of temperature, it does not rust when subjected to moisture such as rain and morning dew and most importantly it will not corrode from being subjected to the salt air of a marine environment. In addition to its ability to withstand the elements if it were defaced with magic markers or spray-paint it could be cleaned with solvent without damaging its finish. 316 L stainless is one of the most durable materials used in fabrication of sculpture and several other types of structural fabrication.
