One of the winners in the 2009 Sculpture Competition, Robert Best’s Walls Did Talk is no longer at the garden.

About The Artist
Robert Best is the fourth generation of his family to work with metal. He has a BA in Psychology, and is a self taught artist. He lives in Little Rock, where he has spent the last several years sculpting a landscape of evergreens at his home, and more recently building walls of steel.

Proposal for the Bernice Garden
Walls Did Talk combines skeletons of steel to form walls. Through organic process, what remains of industrial waste are assembled into a cohesive whole. In this form they reveal a new meaning. As these particular walls have evolved in the studio, they reflect an optimistic view of the future for this place.
