The City of Carlsbad has begun the construction of a new traffic roundabout at the intersection of Carlsbad Boulevard and State Street, which will also include: bike lanes on each side of Carlsbad Boulevard, a sidewalk on the East side, pedestrian trail paralleling the railroad tracks — and a commissioned piece of art by Bay Area artist Roger Stoller.
Stoller, a former industrial designer, switched careers to a professional artist at the age of 42 after years of internal reflection. His organic designs using bronze and steel are inspired by “experiences observing nature on multiple levels,” Stroller said. Stroller also finds inspiration in the sky and the trees looking out from under water.
With a budget of $100,000, Stoller’s artwork is expected to be designed, fabricated and installed at the State Street-Carlsbad Boulevard roundabout by June 2014.
Stroller’s past large-scale sculptures can be found at Google in Mountain View, Calif., and the cities of Stockton, Palo Alto and Alles, Tex.
