UVC Art & sculptures

UVC has installed various art and sculptures within the shopping center for community viewing and pleasure.  Here you will see photos of that art along with any information regarding the art and/or artist's statements, as available.




"The one imperative of life is to grow.  Inspired by photographs of the disk-like signature “tracks” left by particles in a collider, “Life on Earth” embodies our organic impulse to reach farther and to redesign ourselves in a constant evolution from our current understanding of who and what we are to unanticipated new realities.  Such is nature herself, growing, changing, always creating, essentially and observably indestructible!"

"Metatron's Cube" by Matt Barton 
Located on the corner of the north entrance of the shopping center near Trader Joe's.

​""Metatron's Cube" contains three Platonic Solids (a cube, two intersecting tetrahedrons, and an octahedron), as well as a fourth (an icosahedron) suspended in the center.  It is believed that Plato viewed geometric forms as an intermediary realm between the physical and spiritual.  "Sacred Geometry" is shared by many "New Age" enthusiasts and this specific form is said to have to come from people channeling "Archangel Metatron" and that it functions much like an antennae, transmitting and receiving healing and guidance.  I love the notion that this piece is, in any way, a tool of some sort for "raising human consciousness" or "healing" (in addition to being an interesting sculptural form).  Who knows, right? Ideally, it will serve as Metatron's landing pad/portal."


​"Picasso's Violin" - by Jodie Bliss (left)
This 15' piece is a reflection of the relationship between the musician, the music and the dancer.  It is constructed of plasma cut steel, hand forged steel elements and hand blown glass.

"With the Wind" - by Jodie Bliss (right)
This piece reflects a feeling of freedom, inspired by the feeling of being on a sailboat, the strong pillar or mast supports the free flowing sail as it catches the wind and in the case of the sculpture, also the light through the many blown and stained glass elements.
