"The ancient technique of creating a bas-relief brick sculpture is at least 3,000 years old. First practiced in the walled cities of Mesopotamia, the process begins with the carving of designs into stacked blocks of wet clay. The blocks are then dried, fired and stacked in their original order. A Tribute to Firefighters is a 20-foot-long custom brick sculpture of Glendale’s first fire station and truck. Its universal message stands on its own. However, it was designed to be totally integrated into its surrounding environment. The materials and graceful linear curves subtly echo the strong architectural features of the fire station, and become part of the viewer’s total aesthetic experience."
