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
