This mural was part of an on-going mural project of the Arts Council of Indianapolis. When the organization moved from Monument Circle to N. Pennsylvania St. in 2010, the group selected an Indianapolis artist to be represented on the exterior glass wall of their offices. The vinyl images shield the office space from public visibility and the harsh sunlight, and share vibrant, large-scale artwork with the neighborhood. The temporary murals typically last up to two years.

This mural was installed from spring 2012 to spring 2014. The vinyl reproductions of these three paintings are from a body of work exploring place. In particular, abstract places that depict locations where memory, fantasy, and reality meet.  There are elements to representation in each piece, but abstraction is essential in keeping the paintings open to interpretation.  Through abstraction, viewers are able to explore each piece within their own experience.

Hodgin’s mural was removed in June 2014 and replaced with three murals by Jessica Springman. Springman’s mural was removed in June 2016 and replaced with a three-part mural by Tam Hildreth.

Previous artists included in this mural project include Rachel Steely and Wug Laku.
