Full Circles by Ilana Spector and Mark Grieve – 2011
This piece consists of interlocking steel hoops embellished with recycled bicycle gears and, according to Grieve, is intended to evoke a “universe of possibilities.”

He studied painting and drawing at the San Francisco Art Institute and the College of Marin and apprenticed in Japanese ceramics in the Hamada lineage. He practices in a variety of media including found objects and large metal sculpture as well as site-specific installations, performance, and public art.
Ilana Spector has a background in civics and law and brings a multidisciplinary approach to creating public artwork. She studied government and diplomacy, attending the London School of Economics and graduated from Georgetown University before attending UCLA School of Law. Ms. Spector joined Mr. Grieve in 2006 to complete an award-winning public sculpture. She studied drawing and painting at the College of Marin.
