Jonathan Prince's sculptures are formally concerned with exposing stone's latent power through large-scale, universally iconic forms. Ellipses, spheres and cubes are intentionally interrupted by the artist's hand to infer a sense of discovering something ancient. "While Plato considered the objects of sensuous reality to be mere 'shadows' and saw perfection only in geometric forms apprehended by the intellect, Prince prefers a marriage of form and accident, the one complementing the other. And in this union - to borrow from Yeats -- a 'terrible beauty is born.'" (Dorothy Joiner, Sculpture Magazine, August 2012)
Jonathan Prince's RED, (2007), a traveling public art exhibition that originally debuted at New York's Hudson River Park in 2014, remains on public view in San Diego's Newport Beach Civic Center through August 2016.

"Jaehyo Lee's early works share the critical mind of land artists who befriend nature and follow the flow of nature. And its true meaning can only be achieved when reverence for nature appears. Even if Lee's works consumed a tremendous amount of time and labor, the first thing that springs to mind from his works is nature." (Choi, Taeman, Art Critic, 2008)
JaeHyo Lee's seminal wooden pillar, LOTUS, (2013), is featured in INFLUX, the inaugural outdoor public art exhibition of The Avenue Concept. Cited for its meticulous craftsmanship, LOTUS is comprised of individual elements burned, shaped, and hand carved, stretching twenty feet high on a steel armature. Lee originally debuted the sculpture in New York's popular Union Square Park in the spring of 2013, a collaboration with New York City Parks, the Union Square Association, and CYNTHIA-REEVES Projects, before it traveled to Sarasota, Florida for the annual Season of Sculpture Exhibition in 2014.
CYNTHIA-REEVES has two projects nominated for awards by CODA:
A permanent installation by JaeHyo Lee at the new Delano MGM hotel, Las Vegas, and a public art installation in London by Anita Glesta, Watershed: a video projection on the National Theatre along the Thames as part of the Totally Thames River Festival 2015.

George Sherwood explores aesthetic systems of space, time, and the dynamic relationships of objects in motion. The choreography of each piece is governed by a set of basic movements, facilitated by an arrangement of aerodynamic surfaces connected by rotational points. His work is usually made of stainless steel, which has reflective qualities that integrate the sculpture into its environment. Wind speed and direction, shades of light, time of day, precipitation, and seasonal color transform the sculpture. "Each sculpture is a three-dimensional painting of shifting light, drawing all the colors of the environment, pulling down the sky, drawing up the earth and gathering everything in between. Quietly, gently stirring the light, each is alive: no beginning and no end." (George Sherwood)
George Sherwood's Every Water, (2013), is featured inSculpture in the Garden, the San Diego Botanic Garden's annual outdoor installation of juried international and regional artists working in diverse media of monumental scale. The exhibition extends throughout the gardens 37-acres, and continues through April 2017.
