An open letter from Terry Lorant:
As we were finishing the rock work and landscaping at the front of our house, it was clear we needed handrails along the new stone steps leading from the stereo level down to the house. We really wanted something unusual, lovely and fun. Where else to turn but to our friend Danny Mac at Macchiarini Creative Design.
We love our Macchiarini wearable art and wondered if Dan would be up to such a task as creating art for our front garden. Dan understood what we were talking about right away and started sketching ideas that might be work. He came out to measure the area, refine sketches and make suggestions for possible ways to proceed with the job.
Then he arrived with the materials and did the fabrication on site. We were involved with the construction and the evolution of the design. It was tons of fun and we are thrilled with the result! Everyone who comes to visit arrives via our front steps and the “art installation”. “Wow” and smiles…every single time!
We’re looking forward to coming up with the next art installation for Danny Mac to do at our home!
