As I put the tables into the world, they become hard to let go of. My hands and eyes spend a significant amount of time with them, while each representing their own story within the environments in which they live. It may sound odd, but I visit them occasionally. Shortly after I installed the table at Columbus Park, I went for a visit only to see two youngsters playing Checkers with rocks. Their ingenuity to utilize rocks as checker pieces amazed me. Upon approaching the boys (not telling them I was the one who built the table) I asked , "Do you like the table?" The boy responded, "It's beautiful."  In shock,  I replied, "Whats so beautiful about it?" He looked at the table while running his hands across it with a smile on his face and said,

"I don't know.  It just is!"
