Crossroads Chapel Cross
Crossroads Chapel Cross was a commission from the American Lutheran Church, Prescott Arizona. This cross was hot forged copper bars: 2 inches x 1/2 inch and 1 inch x 1/2 inch. The assembly was completed with 1/4-inch copper rivets. The patina and sealer accented the cross-peen hammer marks along the bars. The chapel is a columbarium, and the cross was mounted above a rock with flowing water into a shallow pool.
