The Magnolia Bench is a recently installed commission we worked on with Ruth Arnold, who is a great wood carver. Sheila, Ruth and I designed the bench together, and worked with the folks at HGH Granite to get the stonework executed and installed. Ruth created the carving from white oak. Sheila and I did the mosaics. The mosaics were created in the studio and tranferred in sections to the site for installation. The three of us spent three days on-site completing the installation. I’ll be posting more photos at the Long Branch Mosaics site later showing the process so stay tuned.
