Waterfront public art · San Francisco, California
Corpus: salvaged steel on a city waterfront
Big Art Loop records Corpus at Pier 14, with installation dated October 2025. The work combines salvaged and raw steel, translating an organic, bodily form into an industrial material. The project credits the Port of San Francisco, Sijbrandij Foundation and Building 180, providing a specific precedent for coordinated sculpture placement along a public waterfront.

Sprout: a commission within a changing district
ARTECH identifies Sprout as a Michael Christian commission for Reno’s Neon Line. Its page says the sculpture moved from Fourth and Washington Street for casino expansion and leaves the next location undetermined. This is useful evidence of a commissioned work’s relocation history, while its present address remains unconfirmed.
