Mosaic feature wall and shade canopy for a new cultural district in downtown Claremont that included the adaptive reuse of former fruit-packing plants into artist studios, museum, theater, restaurants and shops. The artwork references the area’s early citrus-growing industry in a contemporary, non-nostalgic way for this small town containing four universities.
