What's Big, New, & Blue?
August 9, 2011 — Be sure to visit the Discovery Garden to celebrate the recent arrival of
Fletcher Benton’s sculpture, O.
Folded and bent from a single sheet of steel, Benton’s take on the alphabet is whimsical and graceful, transforming the most familiar of forms found in a handwritten note or on the printed page into monumental elements of words and language.
