Melissa Smedley...Artist at large.... Public Art-Memorial Benches |

A series of outdoor benches designed for: Gardens, Public Spaces, Memorials. After the Denver stadium project, I designed a bench as a gift for my mother’s 70th birthday with a leftover slab of the Colorado Yule Marble. She thanks me often for it and says it will serve as her memorial bench. This got me to thinking: why couldn’t a bench be enjoyed in someone’s garden first, then evolve to represent his or her time on earth? Then when my father died, I set out to design a bench in his honor (having rarely seen a memorial bench that I thought was lovely). This series of benches that began as a family project now extends into a reproducible functional art concept appropriate for private arenas and public settings. Stones and sizes may be customized to suit a particular site. (Anti- skateboarding devices available for public areas) Please contact Melissa for further information and pricing. |
