Working with Graydon on the 9.11 project was a great experience, it was challenging in its scale but very satisfying. The outer dimensions of this tabernacle are approximately 10' high and 20' wide. The frame is constructed in 24 sections that all mortise and tenon together to create one solid frame. The frame is finished with over 20 coats of traditional gesso and clay then water gilt in 12 kt gold. 

The Black Walnut viewing benches were commissioned by the New Britain Museum of American Art to work as an integral part of the presentation of the 9.11 project. They are constructed in patinated Black Walnut with hand carved roses and 12 kt gold.
