Garden Panels

"Abaci" pair of garden art panels that C7 Studio created and installed in a private residence this month.

These garden art panels were created using salvaged steel and stones found in nature. The steel used is rusted garden shed panels and strips of flashing that were collected in the California desert. The stones were collected as rough pieces in the studio yard and shaped until pleasing to the touch.

The creation process consisted of cutting the metal into random shapes, re-assembling them and then quilting the assemblage together using steel wire as thread. This 'quilt' was then attached to a frame composed of recycled house railing. Hand carved native California quartzite and serpentine stones are strung abacus style on a steel rod.

The the cool, smooth stone abacus beads can be spun and slid adding an interactive element to the garden wall decor.
