| [ PUBLIC WORK ] ---> [ METLOX MURALS ] ---> | |
METLOX, Manhattan Beach, California The murals in the parking garage are derived from Metlox Potteries’ motifs. The Metlox Pottery Factory, established in 1927, was recognized as one of the leading manufacturers of American ceramic dinnerware and artware, and was an important piece of Manhattan Beach’s history. The pottery shards that are incorporated into the murals were collected on the site during demolition and construction of the parking garage. I began the project on September 19, 2005 and spent approximately 6 months painting and tiling. Here is the location of the project, a Press Release and some History. Thanks Danielle Rubi and James Rodriguez for the photos! Thanks JuanMa Benavides for your help! |
