Bench from “Oscar”
Prop Agenda: Our final opera at this past season of the Santa Fe Opera was “Oscar”, a world premiere based on Oscar Wilde. I made a bench for it. It was a simple bench, and the legs were purchased rather than made by us, but it was all solid alder wood, and the end result was quite attractive.

I found this article to be pretty interesting. I like the detail that the artist put into the bench, and how he explained his process. It really impressed me that he was able to make the bench so that the entire thing was solid alder; being that thorough shows how much he really cares about his work. My favorite part of reading the article , though, was that he had built a second bench that the director cut. It always sucks when a designer puts that much work into something only to have a director change their mind.
