As an essential element of the Holland Neighborhood Public Campus and Gateway Project  Phase II of the Jackson Square Park Sculpture project will consist of three parts: A sculptural softball backstop; series of sculptural light poles; and one dynamic form constructed of layered steel plates, sculpted glass, and light, Double Flux.

Double Flux will have an interior form made of sculpted glass that is internally lit in a variety of colors with fiber optics. The sculpture is approximately 10’ x 4.5’ x 4.5’ and will rest on a concrete foundation that is 20” high x 3’ wide x 8’ long.

This sculpture will stand across the street from the new softball backstop.  This structure will be constructed of all weather, cor-ten steel, galvanized steel mesh, sculpted glass, and light.  Topped by a crown of steel “fins” and sculpted glass the backstop will also feature adjacent player’s benches, player safety fences, and spectator bleachers.  A commemorative walk and cast bronze plaque will tell the story of “kitten ball”, an early form of softball, and its 1895 founder, fire department officer and Minneapolis resident, Lewis Rober, Sr.

In an effort to demonstrate the integration of technology and sculpture to local high-school students a number of workshops will be held at Edison High School during the fabrication and construction process to explain the various ways this project has utilized new and emerging technology.  The project will  also feature solar powered LED lights that will light up a portion of the steel text panel atop the backstop.

Sitting across the street from both Double Flux and the softball backstop will stand a series of sculptural light poles constructed of layered steel plates, sculpted glass, and light.  Arranged as a mass of sculptural light the light poles will help to define and existing sidewalk while relating to the other sculptural elements within Jackson Square Park.
