Circadian Rhythm was created between Jovi Schnell /Story & Artwork, Phoebe Tooke /Video , Wayne Grim / Music & Michelle Yi Martin /Projections. Natural Rhythm is an exhibition of four animation videos, four works seemingly unrelated, yet informed by the inherent harmony and dissonance of universal patterns, of natural rhythms, and the ways in which they interconnect, construct, interrupt, and disperse the stories we tell. The exhibition is part of the Light Year series that is streamed online and projected on the Manhattan Bridge. Curated by Michael Lehman .
4000 sq. ft of custom encaustic tile installed for the West Tampa Promenade at Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park in Tampa, FL
Colorful, encaustic cement tiles were introduced to Tampa Bay by Spanish speaking immigrant artisans and our neighbors to the south. The plaza tiles recall the typical design patterns found in the area and are directly inspired by the cigar labels of The F. Garcia & Company Factory. The cigar factory, built in 1899 on the corner of Garcia Avenue and Arch Street, an area now within the boundaries of the park, was a primary employer for area residents. This section of town was known as Roberts City.
Jovi Schnell, West Tampa Promenade, 2018. Commissioned through the City of Tampa Arts.
Installation of the mosaic mural for the West Tampa Promenade begins!
MIotto Mosaics and crew just installed the 9' x 23' mosaic mural designed as part of my latest public art project for the new Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park commissioned by the City of Tampa. The mosaic includes sculptural fish tiles realized by longtime friend and talented ceramic artist Andrew Dewitt. I am so thrilled with how it all came together! Huge thanks to my project manager Michael Lehman over at BOBOSART for helping to make it all sail. Stay tuned for the tile installation!
