Is it a riff on a Mobius strip? The artist, Roger Berry, describes "Over Easy" this way: "It's a dynamically balanced form conceived to reference the experience of travel. As one passes by, the sculpture will appear to wind and unwind presenting a different profile from each vantage point."
Berry's works can be found all around the Bay Area from Berkeley and Brentwood to Sacramento and San Jose. Its beauty and definition are clearly in the eye of the beholder. Drivers poised at a red light at the intersection of Pleasant Hill Road and Mount Diablo Boulevard should look to the southwest corner to check out the newly installed winding corten steel sculpture.
The developer of the new townhome project on the site, Signature Development Group, is responsible for funding the piece as a requirement to satisfy the Public Art Ordinance. Lafayette's Public Art Committee unanimously approved the design.
