Alley Art

Staying home during the global pandemic turned my focus to our garage wall that faces into the alley. It was blank cement. I wanted to use broken plates as well as whole, collected from our lives, neighbors who had passed away and mosaic artists who had moved on.  I did the project entirely by myself over several summer months in 2020 which was both meditative and challenging, appropriate for Covid lock down.  It gives me great pleasure to see and hear people stumble upon it as they walk through a simple alley, thinking it will just be back yards and recycling bins.
