Tom Tsuchiya on the National Mall




Atlas Recycled was
assembled from 14 re-purposed atlases -- and a bunch of re-usable junk from the studio.







for the 2010 Ecosculpt Exhibition on Fountain Square to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.






Since then, he's traveled to Grand Central Terminal in New York City,
and to the National Mall in Washington D.C.
.....with his very own page on Facebook




As some of you may know, Tom was a Classical scholar before he took up sculpture, and this is a rather ingenious way to combine both of his interests.

-- as well as reviving the practice of cubism.

The Smale Riverfront Park is having it's opening,

...and as it turns out, it's right next to the same bridge, and right across the river from the George Rogers Clark park where R.J. has his statue of Roebling.

...and it's just a few blocks away from the entrance to Great American Ball Park where Tom Tsuchiya has his statues of Johnny Bench, Joe Nuxhall, etc.

So this part of the world is what might be called "Il Museo di Scuola Milleraccio"
