LA Eco-Village Cob Bench
Posted by Michael Blaha, November 4th , 2009.
“Joan” the lizard cob bench sits on the side walk tucked into the front yard of the Los Angeles Eco Village ( LAEV ), in Korean Town. Where they have transformed the lawn into gardens growing fruit trees and edibles. The lizard bench was conceived by Ray Cirino, LA resident, artist and Water Woman Project visionary. Who has a knack for blending art and ecological design in inventive and playful ways. This bench was built in 2006 by Ray, eco-villagers and friends.
Congratulations, The lizar is fantastic. A question, how is it protected of the rain?
Cordially,
David
The bench had been covered in linseed oil. That has lasted for about 5 years. It’s showing signs of wear from weather and people.
