We go inside the Bushwick studio of Adam Frezza & Terri Chiao as they put the finishing touches on “Puddle Lumps”, a large-scale outdoor sculpture for the Ashland in Brooklyn, installed in Fall 2016.

“Three colorful lumpy plant forms sit amidst a painted wooden puddle-shaped platform.”
“The three sculptures range in size, and are constructed of painted and gold-leafed weather resistant epoxy on a solid foam armature and are bolted to a painted wooden platform.”
“Genuine gold-leafed fronds poke out from the sculptures, suggesting floral growth and catching the sunlight when viewed from different angles.”
“The platform is approximately 12" off the ground, allowing people to sit or walk on the platform and interact closely with the sculptures.”
