This residency challenges students to design and fabricate a wall relief sculpture for their school. Students find inspiration for their own design proposals in tessellated patterns from other cultures, ancient walls and the architectural features of historic buildings. Each relief sculpture enhances its surroundings in a unique way. An exciting alternative to murals, the finished sculptures may be mounted indoors or out, at eye level or high overhead, in low relief or projecting out from the wall.
