  • Pythagoras Pythagoras was commissioned for the Pioneer Police Precinct Building, with the intent of uniting the community and the police. These five sculptures portray the universal language of basic shapes common to all humanity. The four interior works focus on mathematical laws inherent to the circle, square, and triangle demonstrate underlying orders of nature, expressing The Golden Section as described by the Greek scholar Pythagoras through shape extrapolations derived from the Mayan calendar. Each form is six feet in diameter.

    The 20' exterior form symbolizes the teamwork of officers to uphold law. The forces of lost-wax casting mark the bronze to convey the difficulties of the application of law. This piece stands in relation to the nearby memorial for officers fallen in the line of duty. The universality of the formal language speaks across cultures, and carries an ideology of the highest goals of humanity for positive societal order.
