Duck, Duck, Goose
painted steel, 10' x 220’ x 4”
Public Art Project, commissioned by The City of Glendale Office of Arts and Culture.


Thirteen steel artworks create a walk-by gallery at 71st Ave. and Rose Garden Lane in Glendale. Every 48” x48” panel is cut from 1/2 inch steel plate and powder-coated in metallic copper.

Each panel references the relationship between the water, the plants and the animals of Glendale; Ducks, Geese and an assortment of other creatures represent an imagined interpretation of the City’s wildlife and the linkage between the flora and fauna of the City. “Duck, Duck, Goose” creates a quixotic addition to this historic Glendale neighborhood.

John Randall Nelson is an Arizona-based artist and a MFA graduate of The Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. With over 20 years of public art experience, he’s successfully designed and fabricated projects throughout the West. An extensive portfolio of his work can be viewed at nelsonpublicart.com

I think the ambiguous is more interesting, more engaging. Because there is always something more to discover it reveals itself more slowly and it has greater longevity.”

John Randall Nelson lives and works in Tempe, Arizona. An MFA graduate of Arizona State University’s Herberger School of Fine Arts, his folk art inspired works have been exhibited and collected both nationally and abroad. A sculptor as well as a painter, he has completed commissions for clients as diverse as the National Endowment for the Arts, the United States Postal Service and the BIO5 Institute at the University of Arizona.

“Over the years I've heard Nelson's work described as Outsider Art, Pop, and Primitive. Maybe it's all of the above. What I do know is John has perfected the combination of playful and poignant. Using a diverse mix of materials in both painting and sculpture, he's developed a unique language over the years with the use of societal, political ancedotes and familiar cultural icons. Nelson has created a landscape all his own, both introspective and whimsical, much appreciated qualities, in this ever-changing moment in time.”
