Sorry, about the delay with this last installment.
Here is the final post of our hospital install. These images are of the bonsai tree we did for one of the meditation gardens, which sits directly above the main entrance. The tree is fabricated aluminum with resin “leaves”. It’s a static sculpture, but it’s feature is all of the different hues of red that make up the “leaves” and the way the light/sun interact with them.
So, even though the pictures are cool, it is, like most sculptures, best viewed in person. If you’re out near Dublin Methodist Hospital after they open, stop by and peep out the sculptures.
Thanks for viewing.

This second set of ten pictures, is from the install of both the bird sculptures, which were conceived, designed, and fabricated by TORK. The first sculpture consists of five separate balanced arms with two adult birds per set and a Swarovski crystal, which represents an egg (remember this is a sculpture for the maternity ward). The second sculpture is similar to the first with the exception that it has baby birds instead of the eggs. These sculptures are in two separate atriums , the east and west towers, respectively. Each sculpture is approximately 50 feet high with each arm set being 10 feet wide. The arm set rotates, as well as each individual bird and the crystal, so the piece is quite kinetic even in a light breeze. We will hopefully have some video of the sculpture to post here in the near future.

Though the pictures we took turned out well, the best way to experience these is in person, so if you have the opportunity to go view these, please do.
One more installment which will feature the Bonsai tree in the Meditation Garden will be posted by tomorrow.
Thanks for viewing and commenting, The TORK Crew

Finally! We finished the install at Dublin Methodist Hospital. So, over the next few days, since we have a ton of pics, we’ll be posting them in several installments. So stay tuned and check back daily.
This first set of seven, is from the install of one of the bird sculptures, which were conceived, designed, and fabricated by TORK. This sculpture consists of five separate balanced arms with two adult birds per set and a Swarovski crystal, which represents an egg (remember this is a sculpture for the maternity ward). The piece is approximately 50 feet high with each arm set being 10 feet wide. The arm set rotates, as well as each individual bird and the crystal, so the piece is quite kinetic even in a light breeze. We will hopefully have some video of the sculpture to post here in the near future.
Enjoy this first installment, The TORK Crew
