Un-Covering
Emeryville, California
Several hundred colored photographs representative of the
current characteristics of the City of Emeryville, California were
composed along with black
and white historical images to create a “quilt mural” for
the glass entryway to the Emeryville City Hall. This piece explored
the concept of a city as a unified whole that is composed of thousands
of smaller,
diverse individual elements; it is a portrait of the City manifested
through a photographic collage of its particulars.
