These medallions were cast as the focal point

of a driveway in which they are inlaid into the surface,

appearing like pools in the paving. They range from 3 feet to 7 feet

in diameter and weigh 275 - 1200 lbs.

1. The newly cast bronze is removed, destroying the sand mold; sand still clings to the surface. 2. "Waterfall" during the finishing process: grinders are used to surface the metal, relsulting in rough and polished texture. 3. During the patina process a deep black is applied and washed; detail:"Pond" 4. After the patina is finished many coats of wax are applied to protect and deepen the visual appearance; detail: "Hotspring"

5. Designer Tom Keegan works on the wood patterns from which sand molds will be made for casting the bronze. 6. By ramming clay-like sand over the pattern, the mold is created. Here, the bottom half of the sand mold is shown with the finished pattern for "Ocean". 7. As Stoller applies a multi-layered patina to a section of "Hotspring", the liquid chemicals instantly steam-off upon hitting the hot metal, impregnating the bronze with rich transparent color.
