About Watershed Sculpture
- Daniel McCormick & Mary O'Brien
- Farifax, California, United States
- We want our sculptures to have a part in influencing the ecological balance of compromised environments. We are compelled by the idea of using sculpture in a way that will allow the damaged areas of a watershed to reestablish themselves. As it has evolved, our art has become focused on strategically congregating sculptural components made from riparian materials back into the watershed system. They are intended to give advantage to the natural system, and after a period of time, as the restoration process is established, the artists' presence shall no longer be felt.

Mr. Dan McCormick
Father Nature (not Mother Nature) sculpting the landscape - let me know when you need a Structural Engineer to demonstrate the BIG BANG - a blast from the past
I like it - I may be working with Peter Pfau - Crane Cove Park, San Francisco - can we get you involved ??
Now That Would be Cool
Reinhard Ludke, SE
That would be cool! Currently on the East Coast working on a project, but keep in touch, Reinhard!
Hi Daniel - I just discovered you and your ecological art on the baynature.org website - I love your works! I hope to make it to your Sonoma exhibit in early May. Do you sell any of your creations that can be hung on a wall -- for example, pieces like the 2nd photo on the baynature.org site? Thank you for melding nature and art in such an inspiring way. Sincerely, Brenda (Oakland)
Brenda:
Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, you can contact the Brower Centerfor more information. I will be back in the Bay Area at the end of the show, but you can contact them directly before then, or email me

Thanks,
Daniel
