Mikoshi

This is certainly one of the most beautiful and graceful pieces this artist has done. It visually works very well in the space and the metaphorical aspect of the yin yang is a very powerful symbol for a hospital. North County has acquired a real gem and a serious piece of "Public Art"!!!

Jeffery's work grows

Jeffery's work grows enormously with this new piece. We have been collectors of his work for over 20 years and his move into kinetic work is exactly the right step. Of course, I told him that. Great piece and thanks to the Donors. Howie

New directions for this important artist

It is so impressive to see Laudenslager's progress within the kinetic genre. His work is more elegant and poetic and still retains its energy and power. It seems a perfect match for the location where all those characteristic are necessary for healing and inspiration. Patricia Frischer coordinator, SDVAN
