Cornucopia
Integrated with landscape design at a Senior Center & Greenway, Brentwood, CA, 2008
Commissioned by Blackhawk, AF Evans & The City of Brentwood Public Art Program
Cornucopia reflects the agricultural heritage of the Brentwood region, featuring major crops such as peaches, olives and grapes in a decorative “frieze” motif in tables and benches of cast concrete. The table and bench bases echo an acorn, a twist on the classical tradition of echoing plant forms in architectural ornament. The acorn was a major food source for the Native Americans who lived in the region; oak trees are still in the region.
