Located not far from Waterloo Station, St. John's Church features a sculpture garden around back..and most of the works are mosaic pieces.
This elongated and curved bench has a pattern of different colors on a macro scale....and on a micro scale, one sees leaves, flowers, butterflies, etc. One tile indicates that the work was inspired by Monet's Water Lilies. Another tile reads: "IN MEMORY OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO HAVE LIVED AND DIED HERE". Some of the "leave" tiles have names on them.
