Fleming said he first heard about the call through the City of Seattle's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs. He had applied to be the artist for an art installation along the Burke-Gilman Trail, but was not selected. Following the selection process, someone with the Seattle office told him about the RCC project. "It seemed right up my alley with some other projects I've done," Fleming said. One of the things that drew him to the project was the fact that he would be able to use salvaged rails, tracks and other hardware. "I like working with recycled materials," Fleming said. "(Using the old hardware) was another thing that seemed to click with my past work." His past work has been on dis- play in throughout the country and world, but a lot of it has also been in the Seattle area, includ- ing Grass Blades at Seattle Center.

And it was this influ- ence that helped him stand out to the selection panel for the RCC project. Guy Michaelsen of the Berger Partnership, the Seattle-based land- scape architecture firm leading the design team, said one of the things that struck them about Fleming's work was how closely tied his pieces were to their locations. Although Fleming lives in the Pacific Northwest, Michaelsen said this was not a factor in the selection process because his pieces are at home in their place anywhere, from the greater Seattle area, to out of state, to out of the country. "It so looks like it belongs there," Michaelsen said. "His work was just inseparable from the places they were in."

One of the aspects John Fleming enjoys about his career is working with the natural environment. And now that he has been selected as the artist for the Redmond Central Connector (RCC), he will be in charge of making sure nature shines bright throughout the visionary project.
