Location: Fallbrook Library
The inspiration comes from the memory of reading a special book…your location while reading becomes unimportant as you are absorbed by the book.
This amusing abstract, created with recycled steel blends the reader and the book.
About the Artist: Fallbrook has an amazing number of highly-regarded professional people, artisans, and community service providers. Jim is a low-key resident who combines all of these into one – they are his passions.
Jim graduated from the USC Dental School in 1974 and enjoyed a dental career in Fallbrook. After retirement, he realized that sculpture was his overriding artistic interest. With his keen sense of community, he quickly realized that his unique art form could interest others, young and old, in creating and appreciating art.
