There are some interesting looking seats near the bus stop along the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) service road near the Southeast Quad.

From the plaque on site, “The goal of ‘Blossoms’ is to create a garden of color, form and movement and at the same time, provide unique functional amenities such as artful seating, and meeting points for the academic community.” The posted co-ordinates represent this plaque.

The following text is taken from the FAU website. Carol creates many of the fine-arts elements in the exhibits. She is a skilled draftsman, painter and sculptor. Her background, training, creativity and commitment to excellence are a driving force in the company. Carol is the lead for initial concept development and design. Through narratives, drawings and models, she and the design team develop and refine the work. A graduate of the High School of Music + Art, she received her BFA from Carnegie-Mellon University, and her MFA from Pratt Institute. She is a practicing fine artist as well as a designer.

Tim is a skilled sculptor who creates many of our special interactive and kinetic elements. He brings the inventiveness, ingenuity, whimsy, and off-the-wall nonsense that make our interactive exhibits unique. He is responsible for design development, in-house engineering, production and key subcontracting. He also oversees fabrication. A native of England and Canada, Tim received his BFA from the Alberta College of Art & Design. He is a kinetic sculptor as well as a designer.
