Mural - Temporary

 3002 East Washington St, Indianapolis, IN, 46201

This installation is part of Indy Art & Seek, a project by the Arts Council of Indianapolis and Keep Indianapolis Beautiful to pair artists and communities to create site-specific art that encourages neighborhood residents to see their surroundings in new ways.

The mural was inspired by the calming view from the neighborhood side of an abandoned laundromat into a field of wildflowers and grasses. The artists combined their individual signature artistic practices to create a calming composition.  Visitors can become part of the artwork as they access the healing power of meditation and spiritual connectedness. The color of the seating platform blends into the background, so in a photograph anyone seated seems to be floating.

Megan Jefferson is an Indianapolis-based painter originally from Ohio. She creates pieces with a focus on color-based abstraction, often derived from observation of natural landscapes.

Jamie Locke hand-carves intricate mandalas on wood, metal, glass, and leather. A self-taught artist, Locke hopes that her works inspire, encourage, and uplift those who view them.
