Doug Kalnbach
Artist bio Doug and Kim Kalnbach live on a small farm in Nashville Mi. where they grow produce and field crops.They also started a small business last year with the home and garden Iron Art they make. Doug was right at home last year at Bridgewater for ArtPrize as his entry was in the steel lay-down area for the new Bridge Street Bridge he helped build in the summer of 1988.[He has some stories about the job you should ask him about.] The Thornapple River runs through their property in Nashville so he's still on home waters. Doug and Kim always like to do something for the younger ones to participate in, they have more fun watching the kids than anything else, and this year it is going to be noisy at Medusa also. She may scream in the high winds along the river just have to wait and see, so come see and hear Medusa this year.

About the work
Title: MEDUSA
Art form: 3-D
Medium: VARIOS TYPES OF STEEL
Year created: Work not created yet
Description of work: Medusa is a steel structure that has steel concrete re-enforcing bars as snake hair,[the same type and size that I helped install tons of in the Bbridge,] her eyes are 2 bike wheels that I have woven sheet metal into the spokes so that the wind will make them spin. When the wind comes into the city [inhales] her eyes spin inward, when the wind goes out of the city,[exhales] her eyes will spin outward. Proving that Grand Rapids is alive and breathing on her own, not dying as was stated.There is also some interactive art for the young ones. These will be striking snakes that they strike to hear the different tones that the various shapes, size, and lengths of bar make.NEW, Kim and I just returned from New York with 12 new re-bars from the new World Trade Center tower to use in MEDUSA's wind chime earrings.The re-bar supplier donated them.The way the wind always seems to blow on the Grand River these wind chime earrings should constantly ring and remind all of us of that fatefull day,9-11
