Amidst the whispers of leaves in Baker Woodlands, rests a quiet invitation. The Emory Bench Sculpture beckons you to pause and reflect. The Emory Bench Sculpture isn’t just a place to rest. It’s a piece of art, carved from white Georgia marble. It’s a testament to the vision of artist Horace Farlowe. Farlowe, a man who danced between painting and sculpting, left his mark on Emory’s campus with this simple yet elegant creation. The Emory Bench Sculpture was part of the 2003 Emory Chairs Project. This project, a celebration of the opening of the Schwartz Center for Performing Arts, scattered 37 unique chair installations across the campus. The Emory Bench Sculpture, nestled near the Michael C. Carlos Museum and across from the Rich Building on Fishburne Drive, survived the temporary nature of the exhibition. It became a permanent fixture, a beloved spot for students and visitors alike. Imagine sitting on the cool marble, a book in your lap, the sunlight dappling through the trees. Or perhaps sharing a quiet conversation with a friend, the whispers of the woods your only accompaniment. The Emory Bench Sculpture invites you to become a part of its story, a moment of contemplation amidst the vibrant energy of Emory University.
