El Cariso Park Sculpture - Sylmar, California

Artist: Stephen Glassman
Engineer: Matthew Melnyk

   Stephen Glassman is a LA-based artist and sculptor engaged in the creation of large-scale public art works that cross the territories of art, architecture, landscape, and engineering. Dedicated to communities and the environment, Glassman has completed projects for numerous public agencies including the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, West Hollywood, San Diego, Seattle and New York City. El Carios Park, just north of Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley, has undergone a major revitalization including a commission for Stephen Glassman to create a public sculpture. Through consultation with the engineer Matthew Melnyk, I was asked to help produce construction drawings to bring the artist's vision into reality.
