I thought a simple geometric cake-shaped sculpture suited this spot outside. I wanted to have a geometric design and use a waterfall for my first large scale outdoor sculpture. I am inspired by restaurants like Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Changs that sometimes have intricate waterfall statues outside of them. The sounds of a waterfall are relaxing too. I remember going to Kemah boardwalk and running through the mini waterspouts on the ground, and I wanted to make something memorable for people to look at and touch if they wanted to. No drinking the statue’s water please.
