Commissioned by the City of San José Art in Public Places, it wraps around the exterior wall surrounding the Alviso Storm Water Pump Station in the South Bay area. Subject matter of this artwork stretches across centuries of habitation of the South Bay salt water marshes by plants, birds, animals, and people. Lots of research through historic photos, my own photos and sketches from the ground, water and air, plus meetings with biologists, civic planners, engineers, architects, and locals guided this work. It required over 2 tons of clay. The tiles, nearly 2500, are mostly 8” x 8”. The overall artwork is a series of narrative images based upon historic photos and wildlife sketches. The imagery also swirls in motifs of marshland and quilt-like patterns, somewhat like a series of dream sequences. Dedicated on September 21, 2019, it highlights the interrelationships between humans, plants, animals, and the topic of rising sea levels.
