I was honored to be asked to design and carve this fountain for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine’s Biblical Garden.
This fountain was designed to satisfy a variety of demands, it needed to be tall (just over six feet) but not too wide, and to provide abundant trickling noises.
This effect was achieved by having the water spill from four points at the top into the basin midway up and spilling over from that into the ground-level basin.
Finally, it was hoped that it would need less maintenance than the previous fountain that it replaced. I believe it is a success as everyone—and every bird—seems to love it.
