299 2nd Street
Courtyard Marriott Hotel – 1st Floor
SOMA – Financial District
Globe by Topher Delaney – Bronze
This piece is a result of the 1% for Art and POPOS programs in San Francisco. It is available for viewing from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. – However, if you step into the Lobby you can view it through the window if the courtyard area is not open.
Topher (Christopher) Delaney‘s forty year career as an environmental artist has encompassed a wide breadth of projects which focus on the exploration of our cultural interpretations of landscape architecture, public art and the integration within the site spiritual precepts of “nature.” Her practice, SEAM Studio, has evolved to serves as a venue for the investigation of cultural, social and artistic narratives “seamed” together to form dynamic physical installations. Ms. Delaney’s projects place an emphasis on the integration of physical form with narratives referencing the currency of a site’s unique historical, cultural, physical and environmental profiles. Ms. Delaney received her Bachelor of Arts in Landscape Architecture from the University of California at Berkeley after studying philosophy and cultural anthropology at Barnard College.
SEAM studios was responsible for the Fort Mason-SEATS exhibition that can be viewed here.

I like the piece but it is too bad that the courtyard has such restricted hours.
