Lotus Bench in New Orleans

laurel true December 3, 2015

A fantastical sculptural mosaic bench was created on St Claude Ave in New Orleans during two Creative Placemaking workshops at True Mosaics Studio last month, taught by master sculpture Brent Sumner and myself. Students came from around the country and New Orleans for the back-to-back workshops. 

We are having  Lotus Bench Dedication Thursday, Nov. 5th,  5:30-7:30 p.m.

We have already scheduled another session of these workshop in October 2016.

Lightness of Being: Floating Sculpture Exhibit

Timepiece: Destiny, Gravity and Lotus Eating, Laurel True 2015

Stained glass, mirror, salvaged window glass

 

I recently showed a new sculpture, Timepiece: Destiny, Gravity and Lotus Eating, in a temporary exhibit on the pond at A Studio in the Woods in New Orleans, where I did an Artist Residency in 2014. This series of work explores our relationship to time through the use of natural elements and detritus found in the urban landscape, focusing on the essential importance of the elements - on a personal and global scale.

Timepiece and other work in this series will be exhibited on various bodies of water in temporary exhibitions.
