<br />Artist's Concept Statement <br />"Tree of Life" is a mural that celebrates life, designed for the <br />Southern Human Services Center, 2005. The central image of a strong, <br />vital tree is an international symbol for life and growth, family, <br />knowledge, and hope. <br />The tiles are all hand-made from terra cotta clay. They are <br />carved and painted with many layers of colors, glazed and fired <br />repeatedly until the rich vibrant colors are achieved. The mural will fill <br />the large architectural niche in the central reception area of the facility. <br />The poetic landscape celebrates and honors all those who visit the <br />Center, from all cultures and for every generation. <br />Sarah Craige <br />~^~ <br />
