Description of View	Detail view with arcing bench in foreground
Notes	Located in Dr. A. J. Chandler Park, Arizona Ave. and Chandler Blvd., Chandler, AZ. Sponsor/Developer: City of Chandler and National Endowment for the Arts. Project Description: Fleischner worked with landscape architect Charles Rapp to create an environmental artwork comprised of nearly 1,800 square feet of cut Mexican stone. Geometric benches and pathways offer the visitor spaces for small group gatherings or solitary moments of reflection. The sculpture's design incorporates three geometric shapes -- a circle, a square, and triangle -- into a pattern which overlaps to give the illusion of being interwoven. There are 23 cubes of stone integrated within the sculpture's space. Ten of these cubes are constructed together to form a bench. The other cubes are interspersed in the area as small seating clusters. The stone is hand-chiseled and quarried in Mexico, and the colors are rosa, blanco and negro [pink, white and black]. Landscaping within the sculpture includes six queen palms and patches of prickly pear cactus. Project History: In 1983 the City of Chandler passed an ordinance requiring that 1 percent of construction costs of municipal building projects be placed in a 'Municipal Art Fund'. Monies from these funds and an N.E.A. grant were used to finance an environmental artwork for Dr. A.J. Chandler Park. The artist worked with landscape architect Charles Rapp, who was designing the entire park. The sculpture is a focal point for downtown Chandler, and represents the cooperative efforts of artist, landscape architect, general contractor, city staff and the city redevelopment staff.
