Since, I suspect, fire is somewhat taboo in your region, I would love to
make a steel or bronze sculpture that an Olive Tree can grow through
over time. I have some beautiful 6’ 1/2” thick steel spheres ideally
suited for such a piece. This piece I think would be most suiting to La
Quinta’s environment as a positive, yet thought provoking work of art.
‘A Tree of human life’ Made from water cut steel or bronze
figures, reducing in scale, but increasing in quantity to the
Fibonacci scale. Would make a contemplative shading feature in
a public park.

Bryanston School, unrealized people tree sculpture proposal.
Copper Maquette for a large steel spiral staircase.
An unrealized large public project that I was invited to submit to the Battersea Power station project in
London. A proposal for a huge cut out steel sphere to act as human hive with a spiraled amphitheater
basin for people to sit in the shade of the orb to meet, relax, perform and contemplate, whilst enjoying
an entrancingly cut out silhouetted spherical ceiling space. Happy to share the full project proposal if
you would like to see more.
A tree growing through a Steel or Bronze Cube
A pyramid sculpture illuminated from inside with a fine water mist and light at night. Water mist in a
public space …as I’m sure you are aware is wonderfully refreshing experience…. combined with a
sculptural feature…magic is made ;-) But maybe the city doesn’t have enough water ?

Bill Perkins Reference
Over the past two years I have commissioned 6 Fire Ball sculptures from Aragorn. All His pieces
have brought immense pleasure to an increasing circle of my friends and family. His work has
lasting impact, both with and without fire. His intricately cut designs captured the essence of my
suggested themes, through figurative, decorative, and symbolic story telling. Just add fire for an
elemental sculptural experience with crowd entrancing properties.
Working with Aragorn has been a pleasure. From the initial sketches, project inception, the
creative process updates, to the logistics of packaging, shipping, and delivery …everything has
been a sooth experience. One would be foolish not to work with him.
Sincerely,
William O. Perkins III
