Light Bulb Bench

2000

Seattle City Light North Service Center, Seattle Washington
 

In 1982, I completed a sculpture for Seattle City Light's Creston Nelson Substation (see Creston Nelson Substation). In 2000, I redesigned and rebuilt the sculpture and moved it to City Light's North Service Center in Seattle, Washington.

I made a new galvanized steel base,including a coffe table, and bolted on the original aluminum cast light bulbs, switches and outlets. The piece sits outside the facility, and acts as a sort of open air break room.

 

Commissioned by The Seattle Arts Commission.
