IN PERSON DELIVERY-CAPE CORAL, FL. Original owner-magnificent custom-designed & crafted by Francis X D'Ambrosio,Architectural Gardens-Inman SC-went"green"long before term was coined & uses a tilted cross for letter (X) in his signature "Xavier" pointing to Heaven in recognition of source for gifts of perception & creativity. Raised in Italian fam & influenced by father, Angelo D'Ambrosio, a recognized clothing designer & pattern maker @Town&Country,Bobby Brooks&Talbots of NY. At age 7 was compelled to create anything I recognize as beautiful from whatever was available to me, such as paper, cans, boxes, & sticks. This process required innovation that fueled my quest for the knowledge of How & Why. In turn, this lead me to question, "Does form follow function or function follow form" ? At age 25 & having great appreciation for old world architecture, I was exposed to demolition industry & directed my energy to dismantling & restoring architctual elements. Not able to save all available, I created art from trash.I obtained the knowledge of fabrication in mediums of wood, stained glass, iron, & stone through experience of dismantle & have forced function to follow form dictated by raw materials. This is an art conceived thru perception & has allowed me a gracious form of expression in my work. At 60, my work is in galleries throughout USA & is residing in homes in 6 countries, as well as commissioned work for designers and architects in municipalities, landscape & home builders.
