4:30 Eugene sculptor Jud Turner describes his latest commissioned project: to create a phoenix sculpture from scrap metal gleaned from the ruins of Blue River and other neighboring communities, that will inspire those affected by the Holiday Farm Fire. This audio narrative was produced by KLCC s Brian Bull. My name is Jud Turner and I’m a professional sculptor here in Eugene. I’ve been welding and working with repurposed materials and assemblage for a good 25 years. This is a sculpture in progress to commemorate the resilience and strength of the Blue River and McKenzie River area communities that were devastated by the Holiday Farm Fires last fall. It’s a phoenix rising, it’s about 12-13 feet tall, phoenix spreading its wings and rising from the ashes, literally. It’s created out of components that were found and salvaged from burn sites, particularly in the Blue River area.
