Abundance

Steel, concrete, porcelain tile 2020

Arch - 4 x 4 x 14’

3 Rocks - dimensions vary

Conceived, designed and fabricated in collaboration with mosaic artist Ryah Christensen, Abundance marks the entrance to the recently renovated and beloved Eiler’s Park, next to Deep Eddy Pool, in Austin, TX. The steel and concrete archway is composed of two independent, abstract cairns that vertically ascend 14 ft, gently curving towards each other and skinned in handmade porcelain tile. Positioned at its base are tile covered “rocks” whose “spirit lichen” patterns suggest that the sculpture and its surroundings are inhabited with the playful spirits of those who have cherished this spot over time. The piece celebrates Eiler’s Park’s vibrant, fun history.

This work was commissioned by the City of Austin Art in Public Places Program, in cooperation with Friends of Deep Eddy, the Deep Eddy Neighborhood Association, Design Workshop, and Austin Parks and Recreation.
