My 51 foot cast bronze

[gesso]

Hello, Gesso Cocteau here:
If anyone goes to Bellevue Washington, check out my newly installed
Endless Celebration fifty one foot bronze sculpture. It sits in front of Bellevue Place. We spent nearly one year on casting, quite an amazing journey. I am told it is the tallest standing cast bronze in the United States. It has changed my life, being a sculptor for the last twenty years one dreams of such a commission. Just wanted to share my joy.

Gesso,

Congrats and welcome.

Very nice!!! I'm curious as to how it is mounted and how you dealt with windloading?

Yes, congratulations!
Do you have more pictures so we can better see the work?

Wow. Congratulations Gesso on this commission which is very impressive in more than one way.

It looks like one or two of the hind legs on top are attached to the building to secure it.

There are quite a few images on the Gesso Cocteau website, along with explanations of much of her development.
Congratulations, Gesso. This is an impressive accomplishment. The seemingly light touch of the supporting foot on the building and the flow of the forms is brilliant.

Thank You
The one foot is attached to a steel girter on the Bldg. We had two structural enginners working on this project so that we would be assured of the saftey.
