Rarely do we get a chance to document our process, but with such a meaningful commission, we felt the need to show you this exciting process of transformation.  The 24′ long bass wood relief consists of 3 8′ long panels that are recessed into the wall. Designed and created specifically for the Nicu unit at University Hospitals in Cleveland, the relief depicts children at rest with domestic and exotic creatures in a playful, whimsical and calming composition. The wood, in part left natural, is lightly washed with soothing colors that reflect a harmonious sense of peace and calm for the viewer. This sculpture invites the viewer to gently touch and stroke the wood with gentle hands to further enhance a calming and healing experience.
