Object: Africa Bench           Commission

Materials: Vitreous Glass Tesserae with Black Grout on a Concrete Bench

Dimensions: 3 Foot (37"x14")

Method: Indirect (glued to paper and then transfered to the bench after pregrouting)

Gisa and Johnny were my clients. The subject matter as well as the design were up to me. Gisa recently was on safari in Kenya with her mother. The large sky and unique quality of the light there had made an impression on her. She also loves bold colors, thus I focused on those elements so the bench could always be a reminder of her wonderful trip.

The sky is a gradation in not only color, but is size of tiles as well.
