Interwoven is a metaphor for the energy of movement. It is inspired by the American social fabric, textiles, and the multicultural diversity of the community surrounding 56th and Georgetown Rd.
Textiles are often used as a form of expression and a way to share stories and history. Movement is seen in the creation of textiles as the shuttle moves the thread back and forth across the loom through the action of weaving. Movement is also present in the changing natural and built landscape, and the movement of people. The mural was created to express the interconnected nature of community and provide a moment of joy for visitors and neighbors.
Shamira Wilson Young is an Indianapolis-based painter, woodworker, and furniture maker.
Interwoven was created through a partnership between Jiffy Lube of Indiana and the Arts Council of Indianapolis. The partnership is an opportunity to showcase local artists, beautify commercial corridors with original public art murals, and encourage viewers through positive images while expressing the goals of Jiffy Lube’s programming: Growing People Through Work.
