Mural that my friend Laura Bickle and I painted in downtown Ann Arbor, in the parking structure on South Fourth Street and East Williams Street, in the south west corner, 2nd floor. Sponsored by Arts at Michigan, it was in a series of other "element" themed murals painted in the stairwells of the structure. Based on many rock formations I saw on a road trip out west that past spring of 2005, it represented "earth." We painted it in a record time of four hours!
Unfortunately, all the murals were painted over a year later, because the parking structure people thought the walls needed to be "cleaned." We knew it would be painted over eventually, and the mural stayed there much longer than we'd expected, but there's a sad blank space there now. Ah, such is the life and death of public art.
muralistically yours,
mindy
