Faces of Elysian Valley (2017) 

Freyja Bardell and Brian Howe

DESCRIPTION:  Collection of nine 8-foot to 12-foot high, two-sided, carved granite sculptures, mounted across a 100-foot diameter traffic circle area with native landscaping and permeable hardscape 
Each of the egg-shaped sculptures in this traffic circle include sculpted faces of local residents that were produced through water-jet cut granite from 3-D scanned images of each resident.  Howe used granite from the Yosemite area for both the sculptures and the surrounding hardscape.  
Nighttime LED lighting highlights the sculptural features for this traffic roundabout site.
