PIECE 24: Make My Hands Respect the Things You Have Made
Steel, concrete, glass mosaic
Working with Dallas high school student interns and local artists and community volunteers, Piece 24 is the first in a series of public art sculptures initiated by 29 Pieces.
Utilizing the maquette totem made by students, we instructed them on proper mosaic technique and created the majority of the imagery in the 29 Pieces studio. Once the steel form, fabricated by Albert Scherbarth, was delivered, mosaic sections were applied to the surface. In November, 2016 the sculpture was transferred to its intended site in front of the Oak Cliff Cultural Center. Two weeks’ worth of work on site completed the sections and the steel ball attachments.
