Consider recommendation from CAPA to select the artist for the Libbey Park Playground Public Art Project.

Commissioner Golden reported CAPA held a meeting and reviewed four proposals (two from RTK Tile, Pamela Grau and Douglas Lochner) and out of those proposals selected Douglas Lochner as the artist to recommend to the Arts Commission for the Libbey Park Playground Public Art project. Douglas Lochner, Artist, described his proposal. Commissioner Conrad said one of things he liked was Mr. Lochner is doing most of the work off site. This will help with installation as the park will be very busy during construction week. Mr. Lochner spoke on shading the lizard with additional sails. He said the Parks and Recreation Commission and representatives from Play by Design felt there was adequate shade. Commissioner Conrad said the structure is being designed with ample shade, but additional shade can always be considered in the future.

RECElVED . AUG 26 2015 SANDERSSTUDIO P.O. BOX 1572, OJAI, CA 93024

THE FORTUNE COOKIE PHILOSOPHY for the Weil Tennis Academy and Preparatory School The fortune cookie is a California invention but there are conflicting stories. One version is that the cookie was first served at the Japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco in the 1890s. The other account says it was invented by David Jung, founder of the Hong Kong Noodle Company in Los Angeles in 1918. A similar cookie had been made in Kyoto Japan since the early 19th century and there is a Japanese temple tradition of random fortunes. In any case the cookies were handmade and relatively expensive. The fortune cookie machine was invented by Shuck Yee in Oakland, California and it made the cookies available in mass. Now there are about 3 billion cookies produced annually. It's the idea of random, generally positive, ideas or fortunes that interest me. While at the Weil Academy I observed some posted messages for the students. Things like, "hard work success." I had collected a large number of fortunes about five years ago, with the idea of using them in someway. I found my box of fortune cookies and open several. I found that many of the messages could relate directly to the students at the Academy or anyone walking around the plaza and paths that are being planned. The idea is to select 50 or so fortunes and silk screen print them onto porcelain tile pieces 6" x 24" using ceramic glazes. The pieces will then be fired to fuse the glaze and tile into an extremely durable unit. Form pieces will be finished into the plaza and walkways as the concrete is placed. Later these forms will be removed and the resulting recess will allow the tile to be installed flush with the concrete surface. The narrow boarder around the tile will be filled with sanded grout and the tile and grout will be sealed using Surface Guard Sealer from Custom Builder Products. The fortune tiles will be much harder than the concrete and should require very little maintenance. Regular cleaning that the concrete requires should keep the tiles clean as well. Annually the penetrating sealer should be applied. This sealer doesn't penetrate the tile but it does seal the somewhat porous grout so it will repel dirt and stains.

Artwork Identification Plaque And Fortune Cookie History Plaque.

2 Sets of plaques will be produced using the same process of fired glaze text on porcelain tile. Each plaque will be 8"x8" (see full size copy layouts) A stainless steel backing and frame will be used to install the plaques at eye level. The backing will be fastened to a wall or post, The tile will fit into the baking and the frame will fit over the assembly and held in place with tamper proof fasteners. Each complete plaque will measure 8" x 8" x 1 14"

" The Fortune Cookie Philosophy," 2015 Everyone, aspiring student athletes and retirees alike, can benefit from the rondon discovery of a good fortune. A positive, small idea happened upon, unexpectedly. Encouragement is always valuable and often scarce. A good fortune is what you make of it. Always remember:

Success requires hard work and luck.

And Failure can be the start of something exciting, if you learn from it.
