Public Art

  • Knowledge Public Art - cedar pillar with angled wood, and closeup view of Odin sign

    Knowledge

    β€œKnowledge” at the Odin Apartments in NE Minneapolis depicts two Nordic Runes and evokes the Norse God Odin through the cedar and steel 14’ sculpture. On permanent display in NE Minneapolis.

    Inspired by the Norse myth of Γ“dinn’s (Odin) pursuit of knowledge and his willingness to sacrifice anything, even an eye, to attain itβ€”Knowledge depicts Odin with his left eye missing.

    The cedar beams are reminiscent of Viking ships and will age and gray with time. Integrated into this piece are two Nordic runes which folklore indicates may have been associated with Odin.

  • Urban Ties Public Art - blocks of crosscut white oak on a gray wall with silver railroad ties

    Urban Ties

    Along with colleague Remo Campopiano, Justin Hossle of Relic Modernβ„’ installed a three-dimensional wall sculpture at the Timber & Tie apartments (NE Minneapolis) in early 2022.

    42 relief cuts of a 9”x7” oak railroad tie attached to the wall with railroad spikes. Finished in oil and wax.

  • Spill Art Public Art - baltic birch panels with colored paint spilling from them

    Spills

    The β€œSpill” series was selected for permanent display at the Huxley Apartments in NE Minneapolis.

    Constructed of Baltic birch turned on its edge, these three paintings highlight the color scheme of the apartment complex’s decor.
