The is the artwork selected by the Southport Fire Station #15 Art Selection Jury. It will be located on the exterior front lawn of the station. The Firemen and the jury members were very enthusiastic about the piece. It will be installed during the summer of 2007.
If anyone has questions about the safety and maintenance of the artwork please contact Jocelyn Young at (907) 343-6473. |
Flame of Life
“Flame of Life” will gracefully enhance Fire Station #15. It will compliment not only the materials of the architecture but also its contemporary design while symbolizing the dynamic nature of the work that takes place there – fire science and life safety.
The four-prong design was created for a number of symbolic reasons. Each prong represents:
- A part of today’s modern fire department:
1. fire suppression
2. fire safety
3. rescue
4. emergency medical response
- The four components of a flame:
1. oxygen
2. heat
3. fuel
4. chemical reaction
- The cohesiveness, interdependence and common goals that each emergency services’ team member has with each other and the community; this is symbolized by the four prongs pointing in the same direction.
The sculpture will be made of marine grade aluminum and will stand approximately 7’ high x 5’ wide x 5’ deep. There will be a small 1-2 foot base on the piece to raise it above the lawn.
