Meet Artist DeWitt Godfrey

The City of Alexandria's Public Art Program has commissioned artist DeWitt Godfrey to join the development and landscape architecture team to design a site-specific, permanent work of art for South Circle Park as part of the park’s creation. The overall park design will be influenced by the public art. DeWitt Godfrey is a large-scale sculptor working in Hamilton, NY. His work employs carefully conceived structural processes, combining cutting edge digital technologies with custom craftsmanship, all grounded in empirical knowledge and experimentation. Natural geometries and systems - plant spores, seashells, honeycombs – inspire his sculptures; and through his unique process of packing and stacking conic and cylindrical steel forms, simple rules give rise to extraordinary complexity. The reception will start at 6pm followed by remarks and presentations at 6:30pm. Light refreshments will be served.
