Sojourn is a sculpture made in response to artist Adam Walls’ recent move to the rural mountains of western North Carolina. Walls was inspired by the desire for a comfortable place to relax in a shaded area and enjoy some of the iconography related to the homeward callings used in this sculptural bench.

Rybee House 4 is the fourth installment in the ‘Rybee House’ series of roofed sculptural bench designs, blending whimsy, fantasy, and stylized archetypal imagery of shelter and nature. The roof symbolizes a sense of home, while the bench, adorned with a raised relief leaf graphic, offers a resting place in nature. The houses and doorways evoke themes of transition and change—paths of entry and emergence.
