Carl Floyd

for the Senses at Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. I created these brick sculptures for a garden that was designed and landscaped to be enjoyed by sighted and visually impaired visitors. Being aware that many visually impaired people can distinguish between light and dark colors, I developed a new brick sculpture technique in which sculpted forms are a different colors than the brick that surrounds them. The results is a multi-colored brick sculpture that is maintenance free, permanent, touchable and resistant to vandalism.

The Mason's Choice

• INCREASE PRODUCTION 20-35%
Keep masons working at most productive level all day. No stopping to move mason's brackets and planks. Provide masons with better visibility of work being performed. Eliminates stooping down or reaching up for materials.

• REDUCE SCAFFOLD LABOR COSTS 80%
Build only once on the job and move with forklifts. No moving of safety rails or unused material to next level. Towers can be extended without interfering with the masons working.

• STRONG
Winch and pully reduces the force necessary to raise full pallets of block or brick by 75.6%.

• SAFE

JUDITH WILLIAMS has been carving with clay for eighteen years. Color is of particular interest to Williams, an interest that dates from her early training as a painter, with a degree in painting from the University of Southern Colorado. "I like to use pastels and colors (on brick clay) that look natural. I guess you'd appropriately call them earth tones. In 1992, she shared a major commission with Ken Williams and another artist, creating a large, three-part ceramic sculpture for the City and County of Denver, Colorado. Over 1,000 square feet in total, the work graces three different levels of the 15th Street Viaduct in lower downtown Denver.
