Powder coated steel, 15 feet tall x 6.5 feet wide.
This 15 feet tall metal sculpture was created for the Inland Mall Station of the Omnitrans Transit System of the city of San Bernardino. It is an abstracted orange tree that reflects back on the history of the city where in the early 1900's, there were as many as 20,000 acres of orange trees being farmed in the area. National Orange Fair began in 1911 and continues to this day, and the fairground is located across the street from the station.
