Updated - Ode to Gaudí Bench at Tupelo on 4th in Safety Harbor, Florida!
In July 2015, I traveled to Safety Harbor, Florida, to work on a 40’ foam bench that my mosaic colleague, Melissa Haist had conceptualized. She hired her friend, Kumpa Tawornprom who is a professional large-scale industrial foam sculptor (works can be seen at Disney & Warner Brothers theme parks throughout the country) to create a curvy 40’ bench outside at Tupelo on 4th (her boutique and art studio). I spent 6 days with Kumpa to encapsulate the bench with wire and mortar to create a substrate for the mosaic.
June 2018, I traveled back to Safety Harbor, FL to help Melissa come up with a design for the mosaic bench, to teach several workshops on creating large-scale mosaics, and to have the students contribute to covering the bench in tile. We made a good amount of progress figuring out the design and started the ends with water elements including a ripcurl wave.
October 2018, I made another trip out to Tupelo on 4th to teach my garden stake class and continue work on the bench. We got the Gaudí inspired sun fabricated and installed and more work completed on the ripcurl including some cute fish!
Well COVID couldn't stop us! I was back in Florida July 2021 and we got about 85% of the bench finished!
