This mural, designed for the Union Street Electric Gallery, consists of panels of randomly patterned, geometric flower forms alternated with images of gears. The gears do double-duty as stand-ins for flowers, and also reference the machine age. It was the artist's intention to introduce something green into the area, but also to create a latitudinal rhythm or motion that honors the movements along Western Avenue.
