Arlene Slavin's sculptures draw upon the tradition of using the natural world and various cultural systems combined with symbols, abstract entities and patterns. Working in a wide range of sculptural material, including metals, glass, concrete and terrazzo, her forms weave an interplay of silhouettes and shadows. Slavin seeks an enigmatic line that abstracts and animates nature. Ms Slavin has extensive experience in executing site specific sculptures. She truly enjoys the collaborative process of public sculpture and is committed to an art that enlivens the urban public space. Her current work consists of sculpture, ornamental fences, gates, railings, floor inlays, room dividers, folding screens and carved glass windscreens. The "emblematic imagery" is both personal and accessible to the public at large.

5 blocks away from Ground Zero, the school PTA elected to add art of renewal to the children's playground. Imaginary foliage designs are laser cut in steel and applied to two sets of gates and the fencing. Eighteen whimsical finials are attached to the fence posts. The NY Mercantile Exchange supported the project with a grant.
