About the Sculpture

"Noos" is the collective consciousness, the source from which ideas are generated. - Sculptor Dan Peragrine.

Noos, the corten-steel sculpture that resides in the Bea Richmond pocket park was installed in August, 1982. According to the artist, it is a study in the use of negative and positive space, form, rhythm, unity and balance inspired by nature and monolithic stone carvings. Peragine states that he wants the viewer to form their own ideas about the sculpture by walking around it to view the different angles.
