Texas Holey Rock

Texas Holey Rock, also called Honeycomb limestone, is a limestone that is found in the Hill Country region of Central Texas. Mr. Wakefield was an artist that spent his life obtaining these one-of-a-kind stones and had a collection in the hundreds. When discussing his monument, his wife and brother brought in some of his sketchbooks. After looking through his artwork, I had a better understanding of his style and how to translate that into his memorial. We chose to do a limestone tablet to continue the natural stone look and tie the tablet into the limestone rocks used as the base. This design creates organization and rhythm from ambiguous shapes.
