This is an art feature that my wife, JoAnn and I incorporated into the outside stucco on one of our homes walls. It is a pop-out that is fashioned from the metal lath and secured to the metal lath on the wall before the stucco coats and paint are applied. JoAnn created the design and it was transferred top sheets of foam insulation. In some spots two or three layers were used to build up the pop-out and give it three dimensional qualities. When all is wired and pinned in place it is ready to be covered by the stucco crew. Our work has to be timed to fit their schedule so that construction continues smoothly.
After the stucco has been painted JoAnn added tile to the shell. The pop-out is eight feet tall and six feet wide. The bottom of the wall can be seen in this photo.
