Patterns For Life
1998, ( 12’ x 15’ ) - Ceramic Tiles, and Surrounding Wood - Wallace Foundation Learning and Outreach Center, Lewis, Iowa
The challenge in this project was to construct a mural that would fit onto a curved wall. An exact replica of the wall was built in my studio and the tiles fabricated on the curved surface. Custom underglazes were created for the colors. The imagery reflected the strong graphic lines that are part of the row crop landscape on the Armstrong research farm. A contest was held to name the mural and a local couple were the lucky winners.
