Almost finished mosaic. Still a construction site when we left but will be completed and open Spring 2013
The sculpture base was created by sculptor Steven Jones of DC Glassworks. Ben Gage and Steven Jones installed the piece. It stands 7' high and 4' width and weighs about 2,200lbs.
Installing the sculpture set 2 feet under the ground and 7 feet above. It was braced to hold it up while the cement cured
