Preparations Design Forging Installation Dedication

We tried several types of metal for the accents in this panel.  For the tablet, we settle on stainless steel which was heated to several hundred degrees to get the coloration we liked.  The burning bush is forged steel, copper, and bronze. (detail)

After traveling in the Middle East, some elements of the design were refined.  The pitcher on the table reflects a design seen both in museums and in daily use in Jordan.  (detail)
