In 2009 a competition was organized by the Ohio Arts Commission for an outdoor sculpture installation at Kent State University's Trumbull Campus. I proposed a sculptural seating ensemble, based on inverted polished stainless steel tetrahedrons. Below are 2 images used in the proposal.

The fabrication was completed in time for winter. I hoped for enough snow to at least occasionally set off the geometry.
