Thomas Harrington hung and placed seven spheres in a grove of oak trees. Here he is shown maneuvering the largest one which he mounted in the center of the grouping. It slowly turns with the wind...as do the others hanging from the trees.

Orpheus I and Orpheus II by Catanzaro are on display now.

New Site-Specific Installation, strings2, by Barbara Dolan-Wilkinson underway!

Barbara Dolan-Wilkinson, who lives and works in Mckinleyville, California is on site at The Benini Sculpture Ranch, creating - along with her husband Allen and her best friend and assistant, Anita Jones -
strings2, an installation that is coming alive with strings radiating from Texas oaks, creating diaphanous
pathways between the landscape of the trees, the skies above and the radiating patterns of multiple strings in harmonious dialogue.
"I take inspiration from nature. My work is organic in substance, yet my sculpture is not about anything. It is rather a study of form, light and shadow, the relationship of parts created space and color," Dolan-Wilkinson said.
