Artist residency comes to an end

Last Thursday my residency at Garinger High School came to a close. We celebrated with an ice cream party hosted by the members of KCCI- the group that funded the residency. Overall, it was a very good experience. We completed several projects on the way to creating a prototype for the trash receptacles that will begin creation in the fall. Each student completed a personal tile of their own design:
Some of the completed (or almost complete) paper mosaic prototypes:
Our finished tile prototype. We'll be using this design, plus a couple of variations, on the fronts of the receptacles and the sides and back will have a more simplified surface of probably a solid color with a cut tile pattern.
