DRACO (Dragon Constellation)
RainJanuary 2012 marks the start of the Year of the Dragon on the Chinese calendar. Once again, St Clair Superior Development Corporation will install numerous fiberglass sculptures -- this year, dragons -- featuring unique designs created by Northeast Ohio artists and organizations. The Dragons will be placed outside Cleveland businesses this spring and will be auctioned off next fall.

Concept:
The celebration of the Lunar Chinese year made me think about the moon and therefore the universe. Since stars are a personal love of mine, it was a natural next step to consider creating a project based on one of the more popular constellations called Draco. In addition, I feel public art is a vehicle to educate people on a subject that an artist is passionate about.  In this case, the constellation will be an accurate representation of the stars in this region, and will demonstrate the beauty of stars.
