This past June, I had the opportunity to participate in the National Sculpture Society Annual Meeting in Brookgreen Gardens, and attended a fountain-side talk on Carl Milles’ Fountain of the Muses. It was given by Swedish/American naturalist and sculptor Kent Ullberg FNSS. After returning to Washington, I decided to revisit Milles’ Fountain of Faith just outside Washington. I realized after seeing these two important fountains, which were Milles’ last two major installations, that it would be an important opportunity to interview Kent on his personal insights and experience with Milles’ work, as well as the influence Milles had on his own growth as a sculptor. It is also an opportunity to reflect how important this giant of fountain design was to public art in this country and how much influence he still has on fountain design.

卡尔·米勒斯：喷泉大师对肯特·乌尔伯格的采访

今年六月，我有机会参加了在布鲁克格林花园举行的全国雕塑学会年会，并参加了关于卡尔·米尔斯的缪斯喷泉的喷泉边演讲。它由瑞典/美国博物学家和雕塑家 Kent Ullberg FNSS 赠送。回到华盛顿后，我决定在华盛顿郊外重温米尔斯的信仰之泉。看到这两个重要的喷泉后，我意识到这是一个重要的机会，可以采访肯特，了解他对米勒作品的个人见解和经验，以及米勒对自己成长的影响作为雕塑家。这也是一次反映这位喷泉设计巨匠在这个国家的公共艺术中的重要性，以及他对喷泉设计还有多大影响的机会。
