Mark Baugh-Sasaki: Adaptations
-
- Mark Baugh-Sasaki, Adaptations, Courtesy of the artist
The work of emerging sculptor Mark Baugh-Sasaki reflects both his San Francisco upbringing (including an adolescence spent mountain biking through the Presidio) and his education at Carnegie Mellon, nestled near the industrial detritus of the Rust Belt. Baugh-Saski's large-scale pieces combine organic and man-made materials, pointedly illustrating the fragile and contentious relationship between the natural world and manufactured matter. Adaptations, Baugh-Saski's first public art piece, is comprised of hundreds of branches — salvaged from pruned and felled trees in local parks and yards — sinuously flowing in and out of the ground and winding towards the sky, barely restrained by its steel exoskeleton.

It was inspiring to watch Mark and his team do the installation. The hours for the dedication are 6 to 7:30 p.m/not 9:30 as stated. It will be at Patricia's Green until New Year's Eve. This sculpture was made possible by a total grass roots effort. See Hayes Valley Art Coalition www.hayesvalleyartcoalition.org Kudos to Mark!
