 SO CLOSE
Commission, J. Robert Orton Sculpture Garden
La Jolla, California
Steel
58" x 10" x 50"
2003
So Close was commissioned by Bob Orton for his La Jolla estate, which is home to many
amazing sculptures. The stairs rise out of the ground and into the world.
So Close was originally installed on a hill along the drive near the entrance gate, where this
photo was taken, right after installation. Soon after, it was moved to a lower garden, which is
just as close to the sky.
This was the first piece with the patina learned from Gary "Ironstone" Johnson,
a generous mentor.
How fitting, to flow to another great mentor, Bob Orton, whose direction
and support has been priceless.
