CHAOS PAMPLONA

Created by internationally recognized artist Jedd Novatt, "Chaos Pamplona" weighs over three tons. This sculpture was shipped as a single piece, from the artist's studio in Spain, to it's permanent home here in Yountville.  "Chaos Pamplona" was a generous gift to Yountville from Mary Spencer, in memory of her late husband.  The Napa Valley was a special place they loved to visit together.

For Chaos Pamplona:

Birthed in a Spanish studio

by its creator Jedd Novatt

Chaos traveled the seas

like conquistadors of old

arriving at Port of Oakland

ready to march north

where it could gaze on vineyards

set on a pedestal by two cranes

Chaos watched over Yountville

even as fires encircled

from east & west

anything but anarchic

Chaos conveys a sense of calm.
