Streamline Bench (2012, 2022)
Larry Gill and Gavin Heath (Heath Art Glass)
DESCRIPTION: 42-inch high by 9-foot long by 2-foot deep sculptural concrete bench with 5 hand-blown glass insets banded with polished stainless steel
This sculptural bench illustrates Gill and Heath's collaborative design with hand-blown glass work by Heath. It was refurbished and re-installed in early 2022 at its current site in downtown Laguna Beach just a few feet from its former location (more detail at Heath Art Glass). It is directly in front of Andrew Myers' 2004 bronze sculpture The Shopper (see below images).
A fascinating video of Heath's glass-blowing process for their 2013 Tide Pool Paddleboard sculptural bench can be viewed here. Tide Pool Paddleboard is installed at Heisler Park at the Cliff Drive bus stop.
