In Saundra’s Garden
As a green thumbed girl who also lives in an urban/industrial area, I truly appreciate the effort this gardener has taken to bring a little nature into the hood with this gorgeous planter.
These photos show two of it’s sides…
Flower at 2912
This one fits so perfectly on this building… I love how the orange in the center of the flower echoes the orange door. I like the shingle work on the building too… it almost has a mosaic feel to it. This neighborhood has many spaces/yards/buildings adorned in very creative and funky ways.
And what I really love about this one is the incorporation of hand painted tiles with faces… they’re like little hidden treasures you’re only rewarded with upon closer inspection.
Free Wood & more…
So this one is really pretty impressive… kitty corner from IMA and completely covered in mosaic. Two panels read “free wood” and in front of each of them is, in fact, wood. It’s very strange.
The building seems to be more of a facade enclosing a large courtyard… maybe it’s a woodchopping plant!
I love the whimsical tree branches and each tree has a swing hanging from one. See the little hearts with eyes like the ones from yesterdays post?
And of course the kitty being chased by the dog… this makes me smile! These murals were produced collaboratively between students and artists through the Institute.
