The Work
Orloske Cenotaph
Shortly after 9/11, I received a call from a husband who wanted to remember his wife. She was killed in one of the towers and her body was never recovered. Together we designed this stone bowl that rests in an herb garden at Historic Deerfield. The cooks garden was created in her honor and to remember her love for open hearth cooking. Thirteen herbs are hand carved on the edge, each named so the viewer can identify the herb in the garden. Her name and a poetic verse circle round the inner rim.
Material: English Black Slate Bowl, Granite Post
Location: Historic Deerfield, Deerfield, MA
Carvers: Adam Heller (Lettering)
