"For Tomorrow" functional sculpture

February, I made this clay model while I was snowed in for about 10 days.

In March, I had a crane move a 3,000 lb. corner out of the weeds.

We stood the piece upright onto a side that was flat.  It was placed at the west side of the studio that remains in the shade until 1 p.m.

There was a "Quarry Dog Hole" in the top corner.  But, the design was made to take this into account.

I cut off some of the waste and drew the design onto the stone with timber crayons.

Here is the finished piece.  It is Indiana Limestone, measures 47"H x 56" x 33" and weighs about 1,800 lbs.

Moving around the piece...

This functional sculpture (garden seat) is symbolic for the efforts of Today becoming the harvest of Tomorrow.  The good things in life don't always give instant gratification.
