Ballard Sculpture Garden

Description: The artwork project consists of two major elements-- a curved, concrete frieze pattern based on an Arabic rug which repeats plant and animal forms as it encircles the top portion of the building’s curved façade.  The second element is a series of mock-Delft blue and white columns and benches nestled in the landscape and formally arranged in a corner seating area on the grounds of the building.  The columns and benches depict tree stumps and other naturalistic forms topped with figures of whimsical animals, Dutch children, and a gnome.

Artist Statement: The project is meant to be sort of a prosaic garden sculpture based on the European style.
