10. “Mosaic”
Jan Gaumnitz & Cathy Tisdale
Location: Health Center - 3rd & Maine
Year purchased: 1999
Located in the entrance
of the Health Department building, this Inviting mosaic
posesses imagery that represents wellness. Ribbon-like
hands weave throughout the piece and find their way to
human figures in need of support and healing.
In one particular
space, a pair of hands wrap around the head and neck
area of a figure, suggesting mental support. In another
space a figure seems to be celebrating wellness.
The colors and shapes combine
to create a floral-like delicateness reminding us of our
obligation to treat weakened humanity with gentleness and
dignity
