Information: A site-specific sculpture for the Municipal Wharf in the City of Santa Cruz, California. The work consists of four shell forms or "seed boats" and a large round fruit form. These five elements are arranged about an imposing arch. This arch or gateway is aligned with the opening of Monterey bay to the greater Pacific Ocean. On the inside of the gateway's posts a poem by the artist is inscribed in both English and Spanish. "In the tides of time we have found safe harbour, here on this western shore where the waves ebb and flow, restlerssly, and the seasons, in their old harvest hulls, have borne us ripe cargoes of plenty, with enough fruit for all".
