Status
On viewLabel TextThe Garden of Stone and Light includes two canvas paintings, a free standing granite column, and the terrazzo floor. It considers the nature of the building and reflects the world of dualities, permanence and transience.
The Garden of Stone and Light is intended to bring the exterior architectural elements inside--reinforcing the simple classical and contemporary co-mingling of ideas. The work provides an exhilarating reminder of the passage of ideas through stone and light.
