DATE: JUNE 25, 2019
PROFESSIONALDESIGNS FOR
PUBLIC ART
That the City Council approve a Professional Services Agreement to design, fabricate and
install public art on Downey Avenue with J.K. Designs, Inc. (dba: The National Sculptor's Guild);
and authorize the City Manager to execute any and all amendments to the agreement.
The Downey City Council adopted the original Art in Public Places Program on November 22,
2005. The goal of Downey's Art in Public Places Program is to provide original artworks that
are easily accessible to the general public throughout the City. The Art in Public Places
Program is designed to offer a wide range of artistic styles, themes, and media, all of
outstanding quality. The unique variety of artistic styles is chosen to provoke discussion and
encourage comment. The Art in Public Places Program is dependent on public-private
cooperation between the City, artists, and the developer. The Art in Public Places Program also
provides the Downey City Council with the flexibility to initiate public art projects on City -owned
property, and to provide for facilities where public art is displayed.
Staff has been working with Council Members of the Downtown Subcommittee regarding
various art installations in the Downtown. Recently staff and the Council Members agreed upon
five different installations at various locations on Downey Avenue, as depicted on Attachment
"A" and explained in Attachment "B". These art pieces would be installed at their locations
along Downey Avenue individually, as they are completed, until the entire project is fulfilled.
JK Designs' Principal, John Kinkade, founded the National Sculptor's Guild in 1992, with a
handful of sculptors who wished to find thoughtful public applications for their work.
Representation has since grown to over 40 contracted painters and sculptors on display at their
headquarters, The Columbine Gallery, plus an extended network of 200+ artists that their
design team works with on a regular basis. When appropriate, the design team grows to
include structural engineers, architects, landscape architects, light designers, fountain
specialists, designers and contractors specific to each project from around the nation. The
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH
J.K. DESIGNS FOR PUBLIC ART
JUNE 25, 2019
PAGE 2
National Sculptor's Guild provides a turnkey operation, handling every component of the art
process from pre -design to installation. The purpose of the National Sculptor's Guild is to
champion a community of artists and to serve as a bridge between these artists and the public.
They work with many cities throughout the country, but the proposed designs are a first for
California. The National Sculptor's Guild will not publically place any editions of these pieces in
Southern California except in Downey.
The National Sculptor's Guild is working with four different artists on this project; all of the artists
have a rich personal, educational, and professional history. The artist's biographies and
resumes are listed on Attachment "B".
The total project cost, which includes pre -design, design, fabrication and installation of the five
different art pieces for Downey Avenue is $320,250. The artist services and project timelines
are listed within the Professional Services Agreement as Exhibit "C".

budget. The account used for these activities is 40-1-6792-0520.

SCULPTURE 1 FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE BY JANE DEDECKER
Location: City of Downey planter at the southwest corner of Downey Avenue and 2"d Street
ABOUT THE SCULPTURE:
The artwork depicts a young man balancing on his hands. This would be a playful and fun
installation that relates to the youthful nature of this neighborhood with universal appeal. This
work is visually dynamic from all angles as the composition continually leads the eye around.
The artwork I am proposing exists as a maquette which l will use to point up tolifesize making
the figure 6ft.high
ARTIST STATEMENT:
It is my hope that my artwork will echo the identity of this culturally rich and pulsating
community. My approach to figurative sculpture is diversified into representational Americana or
abstract Expressionist. Figurative sculpture can bring to life the best of mankind's character,
spirit of compassion and integrity. Many of my new works tell stories about heroes, role models
and ourselves. I am so fortunate and honored to sculpt issues that describe our deepest values
of family, simple freedoms and people who inspire us.
BRIEF Bio:
DeDecker began her artistic training as a painter at UNC, until a professor, noticing her joy in
the portrayal of shapes and forms, suggested she try her hand at sculpture. Taking his advice,
she went on to study at Gobelins School of Tapestry in Paris, and in returning to Colorado,
spent five years as master craftsman to the notable sculptor George Lundeen. She has also
worked Fritz White, DannyOstermiller, Kent Ulberg. Terry Kelsey, Forrest Hart and Glenna
Goodacre. A Fellow of the National Sculptors' Guild (1994) and National Sculpture Society
(1998), DeDecker has gone on to receive copious awards.
Jane DeDecker has been making a major contribution to the world sculpture scene since 1986.
Creating over 300 limited -edition original sculptures. She has been sought out for her artistic
integrity by organizations ranging from the National Parks Service to the President of the United
States.
She is currently working on "Every Word We Utter" a monument to the Women's Suffrage
Movement featuring 6 historic female figures. Bills are currently progressing through the house
and senate for placement of the 20ft monument in Washington, DC.
"Part of Jane's artistic genius is her ability to select a moment with which all of us can relate to in
our lives. These recognizable moments skip over generations, each generation finding
recognition with it. The scene is timeless in the human experience and each takes us to that
moment causing us to reflect and evaluate the importance of love, relationship and
achievement.
The textures of DeDecker's work bespeak her passion, integrity and honesty. Her practiced and
studied craftsmanship coupled with her dedicated respect for others achieves the balance,
which makes a hard metal come alive with spirit and soul. This is why her collectors never tire of
her work. These are the reasons her peers recognize her as being at the forefront of this
century's contemporary sculptors."

SCULPTURE 2: HOMEWARD MONARCH BY JOENORMAN
Location: City of Downey planter at the southeast corner of Downey Avenj
T
ABOUT THE SCULPTURE:
The intention behind these multifocal sculptures is to open dialogue of how we can transform
ideas/statements/actions through a simple change of one's own perspective. As the viewer
approaches the artwork they will see either the form of butterflies or words emerge and become
clear.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
My intent into make art that contributes to a wider conversation about justice and care and our
impact on the world. I hope it helps people think and be happy; I hope it helps people be
important to each other.
I enjoy honest welds and alien head bolts, the joy of struggle and walnut oil on smooth sanded
wood. My best work has regret and relief and sometimes I throw wrenches. I steal natural
shapes for my sculpture. Animal bones and river stones feel familiar in my gut. They're all over
the place, and they're beautiful.
BRIEF BIO:
Joe graduated with a degree in Product Design from Stanford and worked with design
consulting firms for a number of years before teaching middle school and customizing vintage
motorcycles. For the past ten years he has been a full-time sculptor, focusing on handmade and
site-specific works informed by the intersection of the natural and human -made environment.
Joe was the Artist -In -Residence at Great Basin National Park and frequently speaks on art and
its role in social justice. His work is in permanent public and private collections across the
United States and is represented by galleries in Colorado, Utah, and California. He currently
maintains his studio at Artworks Loveland just north of Denver, Colorado.

SCULPTURE 3 Y HEART IS IN YOUR HANDS BY JANE DEDECKER-
Location: City of Downey planter on the southern side of the drive -way apron entry to the
Downey United Masonic Lodge 220 at 8244 3`d Street
ABOUT THE SCULPTURE:
A depiction of two figures in the shape of a heart, holding each other's hands and leaning back,
displaying a deep level of trust. I love create artwork that extends to so many on different levels.
While this piece could spark a connection fora couple walking down the street, the overall
message of trust, love and unity truly extends to the whole community of Downey.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
It is my hope that my artwork will echo the identity of this culturally rich and pulsating
community. My approach to figurative sculpture is diversified into representational Americana or
abstract Expressionist. Figurative sculpture can bring to life the best of mankind's character,
spirit of compassion and integrity. Many of my new works tell stories about heroes, role models

SCULPTURE 4 INFINITE DANCE BY CAROL GOLD
Location: City of Downey planter on the west side of Downey Avenue, adjacent to the southwest
corner of Downey Avenue and 0 Street
ABOUT THE SCULPTURE:
The inspiration behind this design springs from notions of equilibrium and transformation, ideas
that are necessary for the sustained health of society.
This sculpture depicts a female figure dancing atop a large ring. The joyfully dancing figure
represents the vibrant cultural scene of downtown Downey.
The shape of circle holds deep symbolism, referring to concepts such as: inclusion, unity,
wholeness and infinity.
The cast bronze figure measuring 7 ft high, 4.5 ft wide by 2.5 ft deep is securely attached to a
stainless steel ring with a 7 foot diameter
ARTIST STATEMENT:
My work utilizes simplicity of form combined with feeling and motion. The sleek, flattened` figures
that I sculpt successfully communicate mood and emotion with straightforward gestures. My
uncomplicated modeling technique reveals a quiet, contemporary style. The simple sculpting
methods of my work allow the viewer to reflect and apply these visual narratives to their own life
experiences with ease and universal appeal.
BRIEF BIO:
Carol Gold was born in Hartford, Connecticut and grew up on a dairy farm in western
Massachusetts. Between 1956 and 1960 she studied art at Cornell University, Boston University
and the Museum School in Boston, but it wasn't until 14 years later, when her children were old
enough for her to return to sculpting full time, that her work began to develop and change.
Bronze casting techniques learned at the College of Marin in 1977 and 1978 enabled Carol to
build her own foundry, outside of San Francisco, CA which she operated for 12 years. This
intimacy with the entire casting process profoundly affected the evolution of her sculpture. She
began to think in terms of the potential of the metal and started to use wax as her creative
medium rather than the clay of her initial sculptures. Simplicity is an important concern in her
continuous search for forms with to best express motion and mood using the human figure and
an occasional animal as subject matter.
For the past thirty years, Carol's work has been widely exhibited in the U.S. and Canada. Her
sculpture has received numerous awards at national exhibitions including the National Sculpture

SCULPTURE 5- ON ROLL BY JACK HILL
Location: City of Downey planter on the east side of Downey Avenue,
0:.. Downey Avenue
ABOUT THE SCULPTURE:
The composition is of a banana on roller-skates. This vibrant piece echoes the light-hearted
community of Downey while bringing attention to a healthy lifestyle by depicting diet and activity
in a fun way.
The enlargement will be cast in bronze and measure Eft tall. The patina will add a bright, bold
sculpture to the space that visitors to downtown will enjoy.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
The ideas are born from observation of the human existence, in all its splendor and absurdity.
The addition of my own whimsy and uncommon approach brings about an expression of life in
the permanence of bronze. People are only one part of the whole planet and my
anthropomorphic works are an exploration of the blending of man into various parts of the
environment. With attention to anatomic detail and a tongue-in-cheek twist l wish to stimulate
the imagination and, maybe, tickle the funny bone.
When on stage l moved through a complete set of gestures and emotions, but in my sculpture,
I try to capture a single moment in time, inviting the viewer to fill in the before and after with his
own imagination and experience. It is this participation that complete the circle of the creative
process initiated by my hands in clay.
BRIEF BIO:
Sculpture is not the first profession Jack Hill has embraced, although he has always worked in
spatial art forms. Born in Rochester, N.Y. and trained in Syracuse, New York City, and Paris,
France. Jack's successful career as a mime, magician, and ventriloquist spanned three
continents and twenty-two years. Studying and performing with Marcel Marceau, touring with his
own mime company, and as a solo act, he became adept at manipulating, shaping space and
defining form.
Jack's skills in wood carving, puppet making, and boat building blended to catalyze the
epiphany he experienced at the sculpture studio of Randolph Johnson in the Bahama Islands.
Creating dramatic imagery with the permanence of bronze became the new direction for his life.
The techniques of the "lost wax" casting process,_ learned at a local foundry, opened the door to
a new phase of three-dimensional expression.
The theme of mermaids translated from early wood carvings grew more exciting and detailed in
bronze. Classical antiquity influenced Jack's figures, but his whimsy and sense of humor also
found expression in the growing body of sculpture. The work evolved and wonderfully unique
images appeared in the shape of roller-skating bananas, pregnant pears, grinning watermelons,
and weeping onions. The human form still prevails, but itis united with fruit, tools and other
objects to create delightful and thought-provoking art.

Artwork 5: On a Roll by Jack Hill (maquette shown)
32
All maintenancework for each Artwork is performed on each of the Sites. Approximate start date is
January 2021, and schedule will be determined between J.K.-Designs, Inc. and the City of Downey.
Maintenance Work Includes.
1. Cleaning sculptures with non-ionic soap and potable water. Artist will use a power
washer (3500 psi) to rinse sculptures off, this will remove dust, dirt so that when Artist hands wash the
Artworks with non-ionic soap, and Artist is not sanding the surface with dirt granules. Artist will be
using a soft, nylon bristle brush and clean cotton rags to clean the Artworks. Artist will make sure that
the bucket of soapy water remains clean. Artist will power wash the Artworks a second time to rinse
the soap off the sculptures.
2. Artist will clean the base and name plaques of each Artwork.
3. Before Artist applies the wax, Artist will towel dry the wet sculptures and use a blower
to remove the water from the crevices or folds. Artist will not place wax over any amount of water.
4. Artist will make sure that all weep holes are unclogged and opened. Artist will look for
any structural problems and cracks in the Artworks. Often older Artworks begin to hold water and
Artist will evaluate whether or not this trapped water will cause damage to the Artworks, if so we drill a
small hole in the sculpture to release the water.
5. Cold Waxing Artworks. Please note that Cold Waxing is not an easy process because
it one must be very careful not to over wax and leave small chunks of wax in crevices that turn white
within time. We will use waxes, such as, MinWax, Bowling Wax, or Renaissance Wax. All Artworks
will be buffed with a dry cotton towel.
6. Hot Waxing: Using a Gross Propane Torch and monitoring the heat with a pyrometer
gauge to monitor the heat, Artist will warm the assigned- bronzes, keeping the heat temperature
evenly throughout the Artworks. We will apply the wax as we heat the Artworks. The wax is a recipe
by conservators. All Artworks will be buffed with a damp cotton towel.
7. Stainless Steel Artworks will be power washed and sprayed with a rust remover;;
8. Powered Coated Artworks will be cleaned, dried, cleaned with a 3-M light rubbing
compound, and then waxed with 3-M polish conditioner.
9. Rusted steel Artworks will be washed only with low psi water pressure.
33
10. All Artworks will be photographed and documented.
11. If incidents such as graffiti or vandalism occur, the Artist requests the City to contact the
Artist to come out to the site and treat the Artwork depending on the circumstance. Itis important to
not use paint -thinners or other chemicals to remove the graffiti or vandalism, as it can damage the
patina finish or the in some cases, the metal.
MATERIAL and TOOLS used: soft nylon bristle brush, potable water, dawn dish soap, non-ionic,
pressure washer, wax, Goss propane torch, propane tank, white china bristle brushes for wax, cotton
towels and ladders.
