San Clemente Dam Rebar Sculpture Coming to Life!

It has been almost three years since the San Clemente Dam came down. Now, the rebar I collected from the dam is coming to life in the sculpture.
Below are some photos of that process.

Thank you to all who have made generous donations to make this sculpture happen! Truly an historic endeavor. Stay tuned for more blog posts showing the progression of this creation. The sculpture is planned to be installed and ready for the dedication of the new Palo Corona Regional Park (former Rancho Cañada) on September 28, 2018.
