During the ongoing renovation of the Hesburgh Library, I was thrilled to receive small sections of marble, removed to create more electrical access points. No one had laptops or iPhones when the library opened in the 1960s! I had the marble carved into library sized pieces, and placed them on maps of the campus.

This piece joins my Precious Relic collection of art. That is, art that combines my painting with bits of Notre Dame’s physical history such as stadium benches, basketball floor sections, roof tiles, 1888 window frames, purple heartwood benches, Rockne Studebaker hubcaps, and felled trees from campus.

Note In the bottom right corner of the map, you will find the Innovation Lab, where I have my Notre Dame art studio.

This art is an Irish Woodworks collaboration. It is and is designed to either hang on a wall, or be displayed flat on a table.
