ARTIST: Valerie Funk
HOME: Germany
LOCATION: 34 Thornton Street Playground
ARTIST STATEMENT: The sculpture rises like a blossom or a leaf, unfolding into a protective, dynamic surface.
Take a seat, have a rest, feel the material.
The black, rough stone transforms into a soft, flowing form – a shape that holds you, that carries you.
MATERIAL: Lake Champlain Black Marble (Limestone)
