“Water, Ecology, Community” is a new work that was installed this spring at the St. Paul corporate headquarters of Emmons & Olivier Resources, Inc., a water-centric engineering and environmental consulting firm whose mission is to care for the earth and its inhabitants.

To create this artwork, employees of Emmons & Olivier, Inc. selected three photos from past projects they felt best represented their firm’s overarching values: Water, Ecology, and Community.

A composite image, printed on aluminum, was mounted in a maple frame measuring over 12 feet long.

Polished stainless steel slats of varying sizes are held by angled cuts in the frame. Saw-blade widths and sixty-fourths of an inch were critical.

The piece melds the firm’s core values into a fluid, dynamic composition that changes with one’s perspective.

Randy not only created the piece but also installed the finished work, including the corporate logo.

The finished project in the company’s reception area:

St Paul, water ecology community
