Mushroom Bench and Exposure Berm Sculpture

This is a "Mushroom" bench that features the artist's signature style of intertwining organic forms. It has a polished top that is ergonomically comfortable for prolonged relaxation. The gills and roots are carved with an Italian forked pneumatic chisel. The difference in the textures is visually and tactilely pleasing.
It is Indiana Limestone, measuring 61" long x 23" high x 18" front-to-back and weighs approximately 1,000 lbs. It sells for $2,995.00, and includes free delivery and installation within 100 miles of the Stephensport, KY studio.
This sculpture is entitled "Exposure". It has a polished geometric progression of segmented parts that give the appearance of opening to reveal an inner lens-shaped form that has a stippled texture (made with a carbide bush chisel). It is Indiana Limestone, measuring 40" long x 21" high x 13" thick and weighs approximately 400 lbs.
It is designed to either appear that it is emerging from the ground (like the first picture) or it can be a crowning element on a small curved berm (like this computer image shows). Compositionally, it would become a major focal point, if it is installed on a berm.
