Golf Cart Sculpture Tour April 9, 2011 A Fundraising Event for Water Street Glassworks a regional school, studio and gallery dedicated to the fire-arts of glass and metal Written by Greg Ladewski Illustrations by Jerry Catania Layout by Sarah Hess Forward by Anne Odden

Welcome to the sculpture tour of the newly completed Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf course. Those of us who do not golf wonder: What makes it a signature golf course? In the next 1½ hours, you will experience the answer. The large portion of the acreage you will traverse was once the heart of heavy industry. It is fitting, therefore, to see the instillation of sculptures, or tee-markers, which pays homage to the past “rust belt” industries through the use of Corten steel. The two bridges you will cross are also made of this material, steel that oxidizess quickly in a formula that seals its surface, protecting the steel from future corrosion. The wide variation in landscapes (prairie, dunes, lake, two rivers, woodlands, and wetlands) are highlighted in this course. Indeed, you will travel through a naturalist’s dream: the most ecologically diverse county in Michigan. The temperate micro-climate, created by prevailing westerly winds and the proximity to Lake Michigan, lets Berrien County boast some of the richest soil in the world, and acre for acre, the most diverse farm produce in the Midwest. The diversity of its natural plant life is, if anything, even more impressive; the golf tee-sculptures celebrate this fact, as you will see. Each tee-marker is inspired by a plant, grass or tree found within the boundary of each hole. Master Glassblower Jerry Catania and metal artist Josh Andres completed these markers in a remarkably tight timeframe – basically two months from Harbor Shores commission to delivery for the opening of the full 18 hole course on July 1st, 2010. The fundamental purpose of the tee-markers is to tell the story of Jack Nicklaus’ remarkable eighteen Major tournament titles. We have included the plaques’ inscriptions in these pages along with the sponsors who helped fund the sculpture project.

Day Lily Though often mistaken for a wildflower, the Day Lily is the only purely ornamental and fully “domesticated” plant honored with a sculpture. The Day Lily’s proliferation and wide range is reflected in its alternative names: Roadside Lily, Railroad Lily, and even Outhouse Lily! The Day Lily sculpture is as notable for its interlaced, curved, sweeping metalwork as for its vivid glass. By the time Day Lily was commissioned, the artists enjoyed the full confidence of their patrons. This, in turn, gave the artists the confidence to create this large, bold, “introduction” to the future clubhouse and to the markers that follow. Some observers liken the see-through sculpture to a harp or even a musical clef with flower “notes,” but this resemblance was not necessarily intentional. “I wanted a sweeping form that your eyes would just naturally follow,” says Catania. “But I do like music, so who knows?” The sweeping metal lines may also describe a golfer’s swing: smooth, strong, and precise. fer’s swing: smooth, strong, and precise.

HOLE 1: (New England) Aster The spectacular Aster at Hole 1 is a stunning introduction to the seventeen markers that follow. Viewing the seven-foot sculpture up close is like seeing the delicate, tiny flower through a microscope. Glass predominates, as the petals’ intense, translucent purples “pop out” against the duller browns of the Corten steel stem. True to the New England Aster after which the marker is patterned, the petals are narrow at the base and fan out toward the tips. In fact, each “petal” is a flower (and eventually, a seed) in its own right, a detail evident in Catania’s interpretation. The Aster, a “ray flower,” reflects the star pattern for which it is named. The artists highlighted the intricacy and importance of each petal-flower by spacing them out, rather than clumping them together. The resulting, stylized Aster bloom has a deceptively simple, almost naïve quality. “Ask a child to draw a flower,” Catania remarks. “Chances are you’ll get something like this. I wanted the first tee marker to have this most basic form.” Ironically, the lovely New England Aster, given pride of place at Hole 1, is related to the dandelion, that bane of homeowners and groundskeepers. In fact, with over 150 varieties, the aster family is one of the most prolific, highly evolved and successful plants. Jerry Catania’s concept drawing emphasized the Aster’s star-like, archetypal form. He then created the eleven purple petals “as large as I could make them.” He dropped them off at Josh’s studio and left for a two-week teaching assignment. “It was a mystery to me what Josh would make of it,” he recalls. When I finally saw the finished work, I was tickled.”

1980 PGA Championship – 17th Major Dedicated to Benton Harbor Street Ministry /Band of Brethren by Dr. Marcus Robinson and Pamela Miller To cap an unforgettable season and the fifth time Jack Nicklaus won two major championships in the same year, the Golden Bear dominated the field at Oak Hill for a record-shattering PGA Championship victory. Not only did Nicklaus tie Walter Hagen with his fifth PGA Crown, he did so with a seven-shot win over Andy Bean that is the largest margin of victory since the PGA went to stroke play in 1958.

1986 Masters – 18th Major Dedicated to The Boy and Girls Club of Benton Harbor by Jeff & Marcia Fettig and Jack & Jan Sperbeck Jack Nicklaus will tell you today that his most memorable major championship victory also happens to be his last. Told his clubs and his game were too rusty to compete, a 46 year-old Nicklaus put together a stirring final round of 65 to win the 1986 Masters and his sixth green jacket. Historians and fans still contend that his victory, just like the man, is the greatest in the game’s history.

Water Street Glassworks would like to thank Harbor Shores for their support of this special event, and for promoting the arts by integrating sculptures within the design of The Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course. We would like to offer a special thanks to Mark Hesemann, Ross Smith and Joen Brambilla for their assistance and support in planning this event.

HOLE 2: Rose Pink Legend says that when Eve was expelled from Eden, she took one flower, a rose, as a reminder of the Garden’s beauty. Originally white, the rose turned pink when it pricked Eve’s finger as she carried it away with her. This rare flower’s essence is captured in the deep, varied red glass petals and the elegantly woven metal vines and stems. Flowers and stem are set against a cutout metal shape that suggests a bud vase. The Celebration logo, swirling yellows and reds, rises proudly from the top of the vase, like another flower. The Rose Pink marker uses the “shield” model that was originally planned for all the sculptures. Catania’s luscious, dark pink flower is pressed into the solid shield, rather than backlit or freestanding. The glass bloom is subdued instead of flashy, and best-seen when viewed close-up – rather like the flower it honors. The Celebration logo, rather than the rose flower, rises from the vase-shaped shield.

HOLE 3: Sunflower The artists chose a true native plant, the “common” sunflower with its star-shaped leaves. (The more familiar, massive, round-headed sunflowers sold at farmers’ are actually hybrids from Russia). The sunflower is a masterpiece of architectural strength. Able to grow up to a foot in one day, the comparatively thin stalk, which can reach five feet tall or higher, has stalk cells designed to hold up the plant’s heavy, seed-crammed head. The sculpture highlights this paradox by making the Corten stalk disproportionately thick compared to the as-yet immature flower. Native Americans and pioneers prized the Sunflower for its usefulness as well as its beauty. Its seeds, food for bird and beast alike, produce valuable cooking oil. Dried, they make a tolerable coffee substitute. Its yellow flowers make delectable honey and a vivid dye. Sunflower stalks can be made into strong textiles and even paper; the leaves, which make nutritious animal fodder, have been dried and smoked like tobacco. To this day the sunflower remains an important commercial crop in Michigan. According to Greek mythology, the Sunflower honors Clytie, a nymph who fell madly in love with Apollo, the sun god. Apollo spurned her love, and she wasted away, her eyes always fixed upon the sun. To this day, the Sunflower always keeps it head turned toward the sun, and symbolizes adoration. The Sunflower is visible to kayakers and canoeists on the river, creating the “happy accident” experience that typifies public art.

1975 Masters – 13th Major Dedicated to Community Partners of the Consortium for Community Development by Heartland Alliance In what many still consider to be the finest final-round duel in Masters’ history, Jack Nicklaus outlasted Johnny Miller and Tom Weiskopf in 1975 for his record-setting fifth green jacket. Miller and Weiskopf fell a shot shy of Nicklaus, whose 40-foot birdie on the 16th hole Sunday and his leap of celebration remain one of the indelible images from the Golden Bear’s storied career.

1975 PGA Championship – 14th Major Dedicated by Friends of the New Territory Arts Association For the fourth time in his career, Jack Nicklaus won two major championships in the same year and he did so by adding another chapter to his celebrated history at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio. Nicklaus recorded one of his five career victories at Firestone, helped by a third-round 67 that created an eight-shot swing between himself and second-round leader Bruce Crampton.

1978 British Open – 15th Major Dedicated to Harbor Habitat for Humanity by Mike & Cathy Thieneman The adoring Scottish fans were hanging from windowsills and chanting Jack Nicklaus’ name as he made his way up from the 18th fairway of the Old Course at St. Andrews for his second win at the anointed home of golf. Jack Nicklaus’ 1978 victory was his third and final Open Championship win and completed his third tour of the career Grand Slam.

1980 U.S. Open – 16th Major Dedicated to Cornerstone Alliance by Abonmarche The loud chants of “Jack is Back” reverberated through the galleries that lined the fairways at Baltusrol Golf Club in 1980. Jack Nicklaus’ first major championship win since 1975 and record-tying fourth U.S. Open Crown would come with a revamped swing that led to a firstround 63 and a new Open scoring record of 272.

1971 PGA Championship – 9th Major Dedicated to Twin-Cities Area Catholic School Fund by Leslie Eisen Miller & Mark A. Miller Legends, present and future, were paired together during the 1971 PGA Championship, when Gene Sarazen, on the eve of his 69th birthday, played with Jack Nicklaus. Sarazen and Nicklaus represented two of the five players who have won the career Grand Slam. With his victory at PGA National in 1971, the Golden Bear secured his place in golf history by becoming the only player to complete the Grand Slam twice.

1970 British Open – 10th Major Dedicated to the Readiness Center by Carol Hake Jack Nicklaus began what is still considered one of the most dominating seasons in golf history, when he won the 1972 Masters for his record tying fourth green jacket. The three-shot win at Augusta National was one of his two major championship victories that year and one of seven wins overall in 1972.

1972 U.S. Open – 11th Major Dedicated to Planned Parenthood by Wood, Wenham and Henderson Consultants Jack Nicklaus returned to Pebble Beach to win his third U.S. Open Crown and tie his idol Bobby Jones, for most major championships at 13. His 1-iron to inches on the 17th hole in the final round is still considered one of the greatest shots in majors history. With the Open win, and because the PGA Championship was held in February the year prior, the Golden Bear simultaneously held three of the four major championship trophies.

1973 PGA Championship – 12th Major Dedicated to Soup Kitchen and Homeless Shelter by David and Brenda Whitwam Jack Nicklaus made golf history and set the standard for major championships with his record 14th victory. This memorable win at Canterbury in Nicklaus’ native Ohio included an eightunder-par performance in the final three rounds and a four-shot margin of victory.

HOLE 4: (Water) Lily Unlike the upright “stem-and-flower” works at other holes, the Water Lily marker is oriented horizontally. Andres’ goal was to create the illusion of a plant immersed in the water – to create the “feel” of water by the placement of the leaves. The water lily’s stems and leaves thrust upward to the single, yellow and white glass flower that establishes the “surface.” Water Lily becomes a cascading fountain in the rain, as water fills the hollows in the sculpted leaves and trickles down. The single white and yellow flower suggests springtime. Most markers put their “best face forward” for approaching golf carts. The Water Lily is an exception, equally attractive from any vantage. It is well worth the time to pause and admire this work of art close up. A Native American myth said that the Water Lily was a star that fell into the water.

HOLE 5: Bulrush Nature is not always obvious. Often, the most important plants and animals are inconspicuous, drab and easily overlooked. One of four markers whose only glass element is the Celebration logo, Hole 5’s Bulrush unabashedly celebrates the plant’s spiky and decidedly un-showy structure, as well as its resilient strength. If you appreciate the relative scarcity of insect pests on the course, you should thank, at least in part, the lowly bulrush, duly honored in Josh Andes’ striking, minimalist sculpture. Easily unnoticed and certainly unappreciated, the “workhorse” bulrush is essential to the health of the Harbor Shores wetlands and to the comfort and enjoyment of the golfers. Dragonflies and damselflies, voracious mosquito-eaters, thrive on the bulrush stems and tops. The plant’s intricate root system provides cover for fish fry, tadpoles and frogs, which also feed largely on mosquito larvae. Once nearly crowded out by invasive water species, bulrushes now thrive in their original habitat, thanks to extensive rehabilitation of the wetlands. The “chairmaker’s rush” and the three-square bulrush, with its unique triangular stem, were also re-introduced to the area. The choice of the bulrush for Hole 5 had artists and Harbor Shores’ executives scratching their heads. “My first thought was ‘With all these trees and showy flowers, why in the world choose the bulrush?” recalls Jerry Catania. “I mean, it’s basically a prickerbush.” Course Manager Ross Smith admits, “This was the one sculpture I was worried about. Bulrushes seem kind of, well, ‘blah.’ ” Josh Andres grasped the nettle (so to speak) by celebrating the bulrush’s unapologetic straight lines and prickly personality. Smith, Catania, and especially the naturalists heartily approve of his unorthodox, but fitting, interpretation.

1966 Masters – 5th Major Dedicated to Michigan Works! by KemperSports Jack Nicklaus became the first back-to-back winner in Masters Tournament history, and he won his third green jacket in four years with his 1966 victory at Augusta National. This win would not come until Nicklaus survived 17 lead changes and an 18-hole playoff with Gay Brewer and Tommy Jacobs.

1966 British Open Dedicated to Evergreen Development by Bill and Joen Brambilla Jack Nicklaus completed on of the golf’s rarest feats by winning the final leg of the Grand Slam with his 1966 British Open Championship at Muirfield in Scotland. Nicklaus became only the fourth player to win all four major championships and did so in just his fourth season as a professional. Nicklaus is part of a legendary group – Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and now Tiger Woods – that has won all four professional majors.

1967 U.S. Open Dedicated to Berrien Community Foundation by Bob and Anne Gottlieb One of the most dominating U.S. Open performances in history unfolded in 1967, when Jack Nicklaus lowered the U.S. Open scoring record and again raised the bar for major championship performances. The Golden Bear’s powerful 1-iron uphill and into the wind on the Par 5 18th set up a birdie on the 72nd hole to break by one shot Ben Hogan’s 1948 scoring record of 276.

1970 British Open – 8th Major Dedicated to Saint Joseph Public Schools Foundation by Bill and Jane Marohn Three years removed from his last major championship victory, Jack Nicklaus furthered entrenched himself into the hearts of the Scots with his victory on the Old Course at St. Andrews. The wind would come after Nicklaus caught Doug Sanders on Sunday, and then edged him by a shot in an 18-hole playoff when the two traded birdies on the final hole.

1962 U.S. Open – 1st Major Dedicated to the First Tee of Benton Harbor by Mark & Mary Brown, and Jeff & Marcia Fettig Jack Nicklaus entered the professional ranks in 1962 and began his run into the history books with his first professional major championship victory and first professional win at 1962 U.S. Open. He did so in a dramatic fashion by unseating golf’s reigning king, Arnold Palmer, in Palmer’s backyard at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.

1963 Masters – 2nd Major Dedicated to Hospice at Home by Smith-Dahmer Associates Jack Nicklaus will forever be linked to Augusta National Golf Club. He has become almost synonymous with the Masters Tournament by winning a record six green jackets, the first of which came in 1963. Nicklaus survived difficult weather and course conditions to be become, at age 23, the youngest champion in the first 30 years of the tournament.

1963 PGA Championship – 3rd Major Dedicated to Lakeland Regional Cancer Center by Lupe and Don Hopp In less than two years as a professional, Jack Nicklaus grabbed the third leg of golf’s coveted Grand Slam when he won the 1963 PGA Championship at Dallas Athletic Club. The Golden Bear not only survived a talented field but survived temperatures that soared over 100 degrees. It was so hot that Nicklaus had to hold the Championship trophy with a towel.

1965 Masters - 4th Major Dedicated to Southwest Michigan Symphony Orchestra by Blair and Clare Clark Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer traded green jackets for the third year in a row, as Nicklaus dominated the field and humbled Augusta National with a record-setting victory. Nicklaus’ 17-under-par finish broke Ben Hogan’s record by two, and his nine-shot margin of victory over Palmer set a new standard. The Golden Bear’s third-round 64 tied Lloyd Mangrum’s 25-year-old course record.

HOLE 6: Cattail The tall Cattail that marks Hole 6 is one of the most realistic sculptures on the course, and one of metal artist Josh Andres’ personal favorites. There are three cattails because “we both like to work in threes,” says Andres. Andres modified Catania’s sparse sketch by adding interwoven grasses or rushes near the base, both as a design and structural (strengthening) element. Corten steel is an ideal material for this sculpture, mimicking the color of the mature seed head (sometimes called a “catkin”) and perfectly molded to capture its bumpy texture. Golfers and art lovers may be puzzled at first by the Cattail sculpture at the tee for Hole 6: Cattails are nowhere to be seen! The payoff comes at the end of this long hole, where cattails abound. “The supermarket of the swamp” was naturalist Euell Gibbon’s description of the Cattail. When green, the head can be boiled and eaten like corn on the cob. Its peeled stem is a nutritious food, and the jelly between its leaves reputed has antiseptic properties. The plentiful yellow pollen of the Cattail’s head makes delicious flour for bread and pancakes. Combining Cattail pollen and tubers with ingredients from the Arrow Arum and Water Lily yields a tasty, nutritious,all-natural cake. But for Native Americans’ advice, early European settlers, ignorant of the Cattail’s secret treasure could have starved, literally in the midst of plenty. The Cattail’s nutritional value is not its only virtue. Native Americans dipped the mature catkin in oil and lit it for long-burning torches. Colonists stuffed their boots with cattail down for winter insulation. And in World War Two (and the shortage of imported kapok), Cattail down was among the native plant products used in flotation vests. The spear-like leaves are sharply defined in stainless steel, and Andres’ intricate root system “grounds” the work.

HOLE 7: Arrow Arum “That’s just wild.” (A sightseer’s critique.) The Arrow Arum sculpture, in plain sight on a boardwalk near a public road, is probably the most viewed, and most talked-about, tee marker. It is also the most abstract design, rivaled only by Weeping Willow (Hole 18). The artists zeroed in on the plant’s most notable feature, its arrowhead-shaped leaf. But unlike the realism of the Water Lily, with its life-sized leaves, the Arum’s tiny leaf is expanded a hundredfold and, for good measure, placed on its pointed tip. The result is wonderfully evocative, and open to interpretation. With shiny, nearly mirrored stainless steel crisscrossed by bold Corten veins, it is impossible to miss, even from the road. Though comprised of a single leaf and stem, the sculpture has wonderful “movement,” thanks to the graceful curves of the upside-down leaf’s edge, and the enfolding of the sculpture itself. Here, perhaps more than any other work, the shiny-smooth, manmade quality of stainless steel is pitted against the organic texture of the ochre Corten. From a distance, people have seen it as a butterfly, a bat, a heart, the Celebration logo, or even a knight’s shield. You wouldn’t know what it’s meant to be unless you see the caption. But as soon as you know, it makes perfect sense. The original concept employed only the dark Corten veins. Josh used a “heat and beat” method to shape the open latticework of ¾ and ½ inch metal rods. “I liked the idea of being able to see the natural setting through the piece,” says Catania. But Andres was not satisfied with the skeletal lattice, concerned that the dark form would not be visible in dim light or at a distance. He painstakingly hammered and bent 14 gauge stainless steel plating to the lattice’s exact size and shape. He then welded the two elements together, giving the marker “mass and depth.”

Founded in 1865, the company was a pioneering manufacturer of fruitand vegetable packaging - boxes, crates and baskets, with a factory/mill that was located on West Main Street in Benton Harbor. and vegetable packaging - boxes, crates and baskets, with a factory/mill that was located on West Main Street in Benton Harbor. BUILDING RESTORATION The Hinkley survived the 1960s era of “Urban Renewal” that removed entire blocks of Benton Harbor’s historic architecture at one time. In 1976, the building was in limited use by the time historian Harold Atwood documented the city for the nation’s Bicentennial in 1976. By the 1980’s the Hinkley sat vacant. Eventually a support column in the basement collapsed and a quarter of the building “pancaked” into the basement The interior collapse left two stories worth of debris behind but the outer walls and façade remained intact. The Hinkley was eventually condemned. When Jerry and Kathy Catania purchased the Hinkley building in April 1997, the interior of the building had been exposed to the elements for a decade, stripped of its mechanical systems and was home to a large flock of pigeons.

HISTORY OF THE HINKLEY BUILDING The Hinkley Building housed a number of businesses and offices throughout its history that offered such commodities as coal, tea, real estate, insurance and flowers. The Benton Harbor Post Office, a barbershop, a pool hall and even a model car racetrack were in the building at one time. Historically, the Hinkley was situated on the Benton Harbor ship canal and the basement the back of the building onto the docks to board. The “Hinkley Block” was built in 1898 by Myron (1833-1912) and Milton (1863-1946) Hinkley, father and son owners of the Colby-Hinkley Manufacturing Company.

HOLE 8: Dune Grass (Marram grass) Andres considers the Dune Grass sculpture, virtually tucked in among the native beach grasses, to have the best backdrop for any of the markers. “I knew right away I had to make it extravagant,” says Andres. “A single blade of grass wouldn’t work. There had to be a lot going on.” Mature dune grass makes its statement with expansive seas of sweeping grasses covering sand dune or beachfront. Andres’ work depicts individual plugs of grass – rather like those planted in the dune restoration project. The finished sculpture is “busy,” with stalks bent and overlapping in every direction to create the illusion of movement in a breeze. Andres’ steel root systems “ground” the sculpture, and enhance its realism. Andres even welded beach sand into his Dune Grass sculpture, for texture and for symbolism. “Josh did an amazing job of creating such a compelling work based on a plant that has no flower or buds,” marvels Catania. Marram grass, green in the spring and summer, sunburnt gold in the fall and winter, is the quintessential “sand binder.” Unlike other plants, including dune flowers, Marram grass has adapted to being covered up by blowing sand. Far from dying, it simply throws off new shoots that rapidly break the surface. Over time, the resulting network of long, tough roots and generations of covered-over grass stems create thick, tough mats that capture and hold sand like no other substance – better, by far, than sand fences.

HOLE 9: Bluestem Bluestem, another important prairie grass, is celebrated in a cutout, see-through form. In good lighting, the vivid, stained-glass blue green colors are positively luminous. Bluestem is named for the distinctive hue it takes on in spring. Catania’s cutout design highlights the autumn color of the Bluestem’s distinctive “turkey foot” tassel, found on both the Big and Little varieties. Ross Smith was particularly skeptical about the Bluestem marker when he saw it in Andres’ studio. “It didn’t look like much in that dim studio,” he recalls. “But in proper lighting, I saw what they were driving at, and this is now one of my favorites.” Along with Indian Grass, Bluestem is the most common prairie grass, and the most important. Big Bluestem, “chief of the tall grass country,” can grow to ten feet or more -- so high that only a tall man astride a horse could see into the distance. Little Bluestem, half as tall, thrives in mixed-grass prairies and at the edges of Big Bluestem stands. Highly nutritious and (evidently) tasty, both Big and Little Bluestem were staples in the diets of American Bison and other range grazers. To this day, cattle ranchers call Big Bluestem “ice cream for cows.” The fluffy white seeds of the Little Bluestem are among the most valuable food sources for winter birds.

Hole 18: Weeping Willow Says Andres, “The course starts with a bang at Hole 1, with its outsized, showy, Aster. I knew the experience had to end with a bang – something the golfer would remember, but also something completely different.” The final sculpture, Hole 18’s Weeping Willow, is definitely “something completely different.” At first glance, the Weeping Willow is the most mysterious, even oddest, of the tee markers. The dark, humpbacked silhouette with its drooping tresses has been compared to an elephant, to fireworks, clouds – even to the Addams’ Family’s eerie, hairy “Cousin Itt.” Now, focus your eyes beyond the marker and its inspiration is clear: the magnificent Weeping Willow just across the river, with its signature outline and cascade of branches. Of all of the tee marker flora, Weeping Willow is the only non-native plant. The Weeping Willow is the only “kinetic” (moving) sculpture in the tee marker series. The drooping branches, paired and welded for a three dimensional element, sway and creak in high winds. Along with the Cattail, Weeping Willow is one of the markers most frequently touched by golfers and other viewers. “Ultra realistic” art, that is art that “looks like what it represents,” is not open to interpretation – “it is what it is,” says Susan Wilczak. Stylized art such as the Weeping Willow marker is always open to interpretation, and no two people will see it the same way.

HOLE 17: Hibiscus (Marsh Mallow) “Hibiscus is the antithesis of subtle.” (Restoration Botanist Brian Majka.) The extravagantly large, extravagantly ornate hibiscus inspired perhaps the most visually striking tee marker. Josh overlaid Jerry’s bounteous glass flower with an intriguing, starfish-like steel stamen, in an almost science-fiction touch. While most markers were designed primarily to be viewed from the front (as golfers drive by) the Hibiscus is equally interesting viewed “in the round.” The juice and roots of the African “marsh mallow” were used by ancient Egyptians to soothe sore throats. Later, the plant’s extract was used as a flavoring for a kind of candy known as “marshmallows.” However, today’s puffy white marshmallows toasted over campfires or squished into S’mores contain no actual marsh mallow extract. Curiously, the fruit of a close relat ive in the American South is the Okra, staple of Cajun cuisine.

HOLE 10: Red Oak Red Oak is the most classically “sculptural” of the markers, says metal artist Andres. Like the Arrow Arum and Sycamore markers, which emphasized one element of the plant (leaf shape and peeling bark, respectively), the design features the oak’s trademark: its large, paired acorns. Andres’ massive, threedimensional Corten acorns are some of the largest elements of any sculpture on the course. As with the Cattail heads, the acorns’ rugged caps were perfectly rendered in the dark Corten. Also, like the Cattail heads, passers-by often cannot resist the temptation to pat, tap, rap or rub the textured Corten, to see if it is as velvety soft as it looks. (It is not.) Some think the grand scale of a small section of a twig and a couple of tiny acorns lend the sculpture a mildly humorous quality. The outsized leaf employs thick veining overlaying the flat leaf, a technique similar to the Arrow Arum (Hole 7). Here, however, the steel is dark, rather than mirrored, lessening the contrast of leaf and veins. The Red Oak is considered the “champion” oak, esteemed for its grandeur and its durable, tough wood. With the Sugar Maple (Hole 11), the Red Oak is the “terminal oak” that dominates Michgan’s mature, “back dune” climax forests. Locally, Berrien County’s Red Oak lumber was central to the once-thriving shipbuilding industry, which lasted through the Second World War. Exported to Western states, where it was used for houses and bridges, oak lumber was an important part of Michigan’s economy in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

HOLE 11: (Sugar) Maple The notched, life-sized glass maple leaves on the tee marker has a hidden (and not-so hidden) meaning. Their red-into-green coloring suggests the transition from summer to fall colors. Now count them: eleven in all. Asked if this number is just a coincidence, Catania remarked slyly, “Maybe I was thinking of the eleventh hole, maybe not. Eleven leaves just seemed right. We couldn’t add or take away and keep the balance.” Indeed, Catania recalls, “the eleventh leaf was the hardest one to place.” As depicted, the Maple’s metal branches are large compared to the poured glass leaves, and are highlighted by their rugged texture. The emphasis on the “wood” is intentional. Like the Red Oak, the Sugar Maple’s high-grade lumber was crucial to Michigan’s early economy and growth. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Michigan maples built many of the cities in the prairie states and the west. To this day, Michigan is a leading producer of Sugar Maple lumber, mainly harvested from sustainable forests. The Sugar Maple is famed for its copious flow of sweet sap in the springtime. In a typical year, a mature tree yields hundreds of gallons of sap, more than any other maple. Better still, Sugar Maple sap is the sweetest of all, meaning more syrup per tree. Even so, it takes about 40 gallons of Sugar Maple sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup. But there’s more. The Sugar Maple is a wonderful fuel tree, burning long and hot. Its dried logs create the unmistakable “Maple Cured” smokehouse taste. Even its ashes are valuable for potash and alkali.

HOLE 16: Black-Eyed Susan Hole 16 celebrates America’s most beloved wildflower, the Black-Eyed Susan. Black-Eyed Susan’s design employs the “shield” form and see-through cutouts, rather like the Bluestem (Hole 9). Here, the flowers’ vivid yellow pops through, like the plant itself in sunshine. While each flower follows the same basic form, each is slightly different in detail. “When you see a field of Black-Eyed Susans, or sunflowers or even Bluestem grass for that matter, each plant looks the same from a distance,” notes Wilczak, public art expert. “But if you look carefully, close-up, you’ll always find something unique, something special, about each one.” While she enjoys full sun, Black-Eyed Susan can tolerate a variety of conditions, from dry prairie to moist ditches and fringes of forest. This variety of the Aster family – cousin to the Sunflower (Hole 3), New England Aster (Hole 1), and even the ubiquitous dandelion -- was prized by Native Americans and pioneers for its medicinal qualities, and was used to treat ailments ranging from snakebites and earaches to worms. Naturalists consider the Black-Eyed Susan a “backbone plant” for its importance to the ecosystem. Its sweet nectar attracts and nourishes butterflies, bees and beetles; its seeds are a rich food for finches and other small birds. Black-eyed Susan is also celebrated in a romantic legend, associated with another wildflower, Sweet William, which blooms at about the same time. As described by poet John Gay: “All in the downs the fleet was moored, banners waving in the wind When Black-Eyed Susan came aboard, and eyed the burly men ‘Tell me ye sailors, tell me true if my Sweet William sails with you.’” Gardeners often plant the two flowers together, and make mixed bouquets with them. To this day, who the original “Susan” was remains a mystery.

HOLE 15: Primrose Primrose was one of the earliest tee markers created by the artists. While using the shield and cutout technique of the Cattail prototype, Primrose was much more complex and laborintensive. With this work, the artists explored and perfected te chniques for integrating the glass and metal elements. Indeed, with Primrose and later markers, both Catania and Andres had to invent or refine new techniques and methods. The result is a particularly happy blend of glass and metal. The outsized pastel petals are radiant, especially when backlit. Based on a design by Catania, Andres created the shield and made the cutouts. He then gave Catania “cookie cutter” outlines of the cutouts. Catania transferred these shapes to sand cast molds, and poured the glass in. The glass pieces were then carefully fitted into the cutouts, and sealed with silicon glue. A striking design element is the lacy see-through quality of the leaves. The artists had originally intended to fill in all of the cutouts with glass. However, once the flower was in place, they realized that the remaining, delicate cutouts nicely integrated the background into the viewer’s experience. “The beautiful leaf clusters of the primrose are remarkable for their wonderful symmetrical arrangement and … are a perfect pattern for the modeler, the sculptor, decorator or wood-carver.” William Hamilton Gibson, 1892. The artists’ elegant rendition confirms the venerable Mr. Gibson’s opinion.

HOLE 12: Sassafras (Mitten tree) The Sassafras tee marker, depicting the tree’s three distinct leaf shapes tumbling to the ground, is a particularly happy marriage of steel and glass. “I was glad the designers included Sassafras,” said Catania, “because I’ve always called it the ‘Michigan tree’(for the mitten-shaped leaf.)” A rounded metal shield encases the three leaf cutouts. Andres and Catania collaborated to find just the right angle and spacing for the three different leaf types. Catania then made molds of the cutouts, cast the variegated green glass leaves, and fitted them into the marker. The sassafras is one of the first trees to appear on the fringes of dunes (making it a so-called “early succession dune species”). Fast growing and attractive, the tree has long been touted as a medicine, flavoring and food. Sassafras tea is valued for its soothing and calming effect, and the aromatic root is the flavoring for sarsaparilla, or root beer. Its twigs, when scratched, emit an aroma reminiscent of “Fruit Loops.” Louisiana’s spicy Cajun cooking uses ground Sassafras leaves (called “file,” and pronounced “fee-lay”) for hearty File Gumbo. A member of the extensive Laurel family, the Sassafras is related to such varied plants as the avocado, cinnamon tree, and camphor tree. Sassafras root yields aromatic oil called safrole, as well as other oils and essences. Safrole-based drinks, including Sassafras tea and the original “root beer,” were eventually banned by the Food and Drug Administration as a potential carcinogen. Though this ban has been lifted, all brands of root beer now use artificial flavoring.

HOLE 13: Sycamore Stately Sycamore pleases young and old alike. They dominate a vista with their high canopy and sweeping branches, and with their strong, conveniently spaced, radiating branches, make good climbing trees. Sycamore’s notched leaves, resembling a maple’s but much larger, are also characteristic. But “the Sycamore is all about the bark,” the artists agreed when they received the commission. Unlike markers depicting other trees, Andres’ Sycamore focuses on the trunk, and especially the unmistakable peeling bark, emphasizing it even more by rendering only a section of trunk, rather than depicting a whole tree. This allowed Andres to add exquisite detail, in both texture and color, to the signature bark. Combining stainless steel and Corten, and using metal smithing techniques including cutouts, overlays, twisting and bending, Andres’ Sycamore trunk is a remarkable rendition of its signature bark. All trees shed some bark, as with each spring, a new bark layer grows and swells just beneath the outer surface. The Sycamore takes this “exfoliation” process to the extreme, rapidly growing new bark and just as rapidly shedding the old. The result is the Sycamore’s unmistakable “camouflage” pattern, in tan, gray, brown, white and yellow. The Sycamore is also noted for its resiliency. Chopped down, its stump will quickly sprout new shoots, which in time can develop into a strong new tree in its own right. Catania’s two colorful leaves, spread like waving hands from the plaque, hint at this eagerness for rebirth. Vying with numerous competitors for the honor, the noble Sycamore’s inclusion as a tee marker was locked in after the designers saw this stately tree, visible from the marker.

HOLE 14: Vervain (Wild Hyssop, Simpler’s [Herbalist’s] Joy, Herb of Grace, Herb of the Cross) A favorite aroma for scented candles and soaps, the Vervain (verbena) is a common, but easily overlooked native flower. The artists’ interpretation highlights its buds with a vivid green that “pops out,” as well as its tiny purple flowerets. The sculpture’s symmetry and detail is uncannily similar to the plant’s description in a popular book from a century ago: “With its “beady, rocket-like flowering spikes,” the Vervain is like “an elaborate, equally balanced floral candelabra.” Frederick William Stack, Wildflowers Every Child Should Know (1914), p. 350. The Celebration logo receives special treatment in this sculpture. To emphasize the vivid green glass buds, Catania added a pronounced, sparkly green swirl to the logo’s yellow circle. “Our original instruction was to keep the logo absolutely uniform in color,” recalls Catania. “Over time, the committee members trusted us more and more, and we started adding little touches of color. Everyone seems pleased with the result.” The artists admit that Vervain presented the biggest problem for placing the Celebration logo. “We took turns holding it up various places for the other,” says Catania. Eventually, Andres placed it at the very center. “Looking back, it was the only possible place,” Catania adds. Vervain has a short blossoming “window,” displaying its delicate purple flowers for only six weeks in midsummer. For this time, the riverbanks and meadows are a sea of purple, but before and after, the vervain is virtually unnoticeable. To ensure that the Harbor Shores Golf Course would be attractive all season long, designers planted and restored native flowers and trees that had differing blooming periods. From early spring through fall, golfers and nature lovers will always find beauty on the course and its environs.

Twilight in the Garden 2012

Curatorial Statement There are many aspects of an artist’s life that influence the creative investigations that they explore through their work. It often goes unsaid however the role that a shared studio environment plays in the development of an artists work. Twilight in the Garden is an exhibition that showcases the current work of students, staff and artists associated with water street glassworks and metal studio. This exhibition highlights the influential role that a dynamic shared studio environment plays in the development of a unique and diverse visual language of working with glass and metal in artistic exploration that is often collaborative. Twilight in the Garden celebrates the evolution and uniqueness of water street glassworks studio environment. This exhibition showcases a broad spectrum of fine art glass sculptures, vessels, functional work and metal work created by artists associated with water street glassworks using a myriad of processes including blown, torched, fused, casting, welding and assemblage. Unique also to this exhibition is the spectacular garden setting. as a result, viewers can actively participate in the work, drawing upon their own experiences and creativity to access the intended meaning of each work. Visitor expectations are challenged; their imaginations are stretched and offered a new way of experiencing both plants and art. As you walk among the trees and flowerbeds you may find yourself confronted by a flower shimmering in the light…or in a bog…a dragon finds its way atop an old stone wall. this may sound like the kind of thing alice might have stumbled upon down the rabbit hole – but actually, this is in the heart of Twilight in the Garden: to experience the unexpected, to see the talents of creative minds challenged by a magical setting. Exhibiting sculptural works under a canopy of trees, along the shores of Lake Michigan, intermingled with Tropical and Native plants, provides this exhibition with an inspiring presence which cannot be achieved in a gallery setting. Page 2 • Water Street Glassworks • Twilight in the Garden • August 18, 2012

The art is inspired by the natural world but given a twist and interacts perfectly with the plants that surround them. Textures, surfaces and colors are added to metal works making them shimmer playfully. As the light changes throughout the day, the works alter-they pick up colors from their surroundings in a very subtle and beautiful way. These dynamic works draw the viewer’s attention and entice them to walk deeper into the gardens to discover more. Hence the title of this exhibition, Twilight, the time of day when a special light occurs and the glass and metal captures and comes alive with the distinctive quality of the ambient light. This exhibition came together as an educational and social experience as well as an opportunity to encourage public participation in and engagement with their local visual culture. How can contemporary art and cultural organizations connect with the public and demonstrate value and relevance in everyday life? We can do this by inviting people to actively engage as cultural participants, not passive consumers. As more people enjoy and become accustomed to participatory learning and entertainment experiences, they want to do more than just “attend” cultural events; when people can actively participate with cultural organizations, those places become central to cultural and community life.” Since its inception Water Street Glassworks has been an influential force in the creative development of students, artists and teachers alike. Through the arts Water Street Glassworks has played a pivotal role in the changing face of Benton Harbor showing that art has the power to transform community. I invite you to discover and experience and enjoy…Twilight in the Garden. Susan Wilczak, Curator

FIRED UP! AFTER-SCHOOL TEEN GLASS PROGRAM Water Street Glassworks is proud to offer Fired Up! as an after-school glass program for the area youth. Truly a unique opportunity, teens learn the art of glassblowing, fusing, beadmaking or stained glass afterschool from mid-September through June Fired Up! is not your typical after-school program in that we ask students and parents to make a two-year commitment to the program. Fired Up! is similiar to an AP fine arts course and is therefore an intensive study of the medium, studio work, the business of art, teamwork and social skills. The art of glass is one that requires focus, forgiveness, patience and teamwork. Our passion for the program shows through the caliber of instructors we choose, the skills that are applied and the support of the organization. During the Fired Up! school year, students participate in two semester-end exhibitions every winter and spring at Water Street Glassworks. At their opening reception discuss their work, demonstrate their skills, interact with guests and welcome family members. The Fired Up! experience culminates annually in a professional marketing and entrepreneurial experience a the Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff in St. Joseph.Becoming Members of the Creative Community Fired Up! students learn to become teen entrepreneurs and practice the “business of art” through hands-on creative learning. Students are encouraged to actively participate in the creative community of the Benton Harbor and St. Joseph by selling their work at summer (July) and fall (September) art fairs, through their semester-end exhibits (December & April), and selling of their work in the Water Street GelatoWorks Gallery. The gallery component of GelatoWorks is a year around retail venue for glass art created at our school and a marketing tool for our mission, educational programming, youth job training, event s and exhibits. In addition to selling their work, students have the opportunity to volunteer in the gelato shop behind the counter. A part of the Fired Up! program is also personal and community responsibility. Although most of our students have received this program tuition-free all students are required to give back to the program in two ways. First, 30% of sales of student work are returned to the program, and second, students spend a few hours each semester making production glass pieces to be sold at art fairs to benefit the program. Fired Up! plays a big role in our organization and is the foundation of community commitment. We invited you to come visit the studios and talk to our students about their work and their experiences in the program.

Pearl Dick Pearl Dick was born in Toledo, OH in 1977 where she believes that glass was initially ingrained in her consciousness. Her family moved to Southeastern CT when she was nine and she considers New England her home. Pearl studied glass and painting at Alfred University in New York and moved to the Pacific NW upon graduation in 1998 to pursue a career in glass art. In 2003, Pearl relocated to Chicago, where she realized her first major artistic achievements in her debut at SOFA Chicago in 2005 and her first solo show at Habatat Gallery in 2006. Her work has since been exhibited in galleries, public art exhibitions and private residences throughout the US. In 2007, Pearl was integral in the inception of the Glassworks Program through Cooperative Image Groupa local nonprofit organization providing arts education to youth in underserved communities throughout Chicago. She is currently the Artistic Director of Ignite Glass Studios in Chicago where she continues her artistic practice along with the development of educational and community outreach programs.

Working with Bullseye sheet, accessory glasses, and metal foils, expect to create a range of samples to use as reference in your own work. Our second day will be dedicated to creating a larger showpiece using our findings from the first day. With technical knowledge, you can learn to control these reactions to create unique variations in your own glass work. Prerequisite: Beginning Fusing. All materials provided. $120.
