Mashed mosaic

On the south side of Glenn, just west of Swan, is a two-part mosaic/tile wall that fronts the parking lot for North Swan Baptist Church and Carden Christian Academy:

The V del M above is for the Vista del Monte neighborhood association, who funded the work finished in 2000 by artist Robin Riley, RileyMosaics.com:

Robin wrote that “At some point, one of the mosaic walls was hit by a car ... So now, the mosaic is incomplete because the mosaic was never replaced on the damaged wall.” And she sent this tip: “My favorite thing about this mosaic is that at night when you drive by, it just sparkles.”

I took the photos on a cloudy March 28, 2013. (Sometime I'd like to roll by at night and take a video to post here...)

To see other work of Robin's, type her name into the search box or search link at the right-hand side of this page.
