Terrace urn, Viscaya, Miami, Florida, 2013

Just as the figurehead in the preceding image, this urn was created to bring a Mediterranean touch to the massive gardens of Vizcaya. These gardens are among the best examples of Italian garden design and architecture in the United States, and were created to reflect Miami’s subtropical climate. I use soft reflected light to define this classical stone urn, one of the many decorative features that make Vizcaya’s gardens so distinctive. This urn is an antique from Sicily, and probably dates back to the 17th century.
