Description:
The University Village Sculpture Series is a collection of custom sculptures and functional artworks created for the University Village shopping and dining district in Sacramento, California. The installation features a variety of nature inspired elements placed throughout the development, including abstract tree sculptures, large floral sculptures, artistic bike racks, benches, and illuminated signage.

Sculptural tree forms made from twisting steel rods and stainless steel leaves create striking vertical elements within the space, with integrated lighting and glass details that bring the sculptures to life at night. Additional works include large potted flowers with illuminated glass centers, decorative floral arrangements installed in planter beds, custom benches, and playful bike racks featuring glass accents.

Illuminated steel signage designed for the development adds another sculptural element to the site while helping define the identity of the space.
