Compassion is…
Mark Rivera, David Breaux
2013, Mosaic
The idea of the “Compassion Is…” bench was originated by David Breaux. David was able to gain permission to build it on the property of the AT&T Company. Built in the “Cob” style, Breaux was able to enlist the assistance of Brennan Bird, with the ceramic artists Donna Billick and Mark Rivera creating specialized pieces for the mosaic areas. A community project from start to finish, the piece is catty-cornered from Central Park, and a favorite of the Farmer’s Market crowd.
