honor (part 2)

finding out that i had been chosen was truly an exciting day for me. i never dreamed that i would have a public piece of art. the idea of people, anyone, viewing, on a daily basis, something that i've created, taking it in and processing whatever it means to them, doesn't mean to them, having a random thought about it, it's just an amazing feeling for me. it never crossed my mind that this would happen but it has definitely popped the top off a new love for me. hopefully there will be more to come.

so the first step of execution was for me to draw to scale the tops of each piece and make a template that could be used to draw onto the sheet of steel.
