.
Hidden among the mural’s flora and fauna symbolic of #Ohio, including #buckeyes (our state tree), #carnations (our state flower), #trillium (our state wildflower), and lady bugs (our state bug), are seven bulldogs included as a nod to Hamilton High School’s mascot. Can you spot any?
.
“Garden of the Dogs” is located at ELITE Performance & Wellness (@elite45013), 190 N. Brookwood Ave., in Hamilton, Ohio. The 155-foot-long mural was brought to life by a team led by Dallas, who was supported by artists Mark Hanavan, Olga Klepinger, Emily Mason, Sydnie Reatherford, and Latosha Stone.

StreetSpark is a partnership between the @fittoncenter, the City of @hamiltonoh, and the Hamilton Community Foundation. There are currently 14 StreetSpark murals around Hamilton that have been completed over the past five years. View photos of the artwork and a map of mural locations at: fittoncenter.org/streetspark.

.
Made of 100 percent hand-dyed wool and a hardener of gelatin and glycerin, "Falling Bowls" discusses change and transformation inspired by theories in quantum physics.
.
In Judy's artist statement, she writes: “We are very fortunate to be alive. We are being challenged. We are in the middle of rapid change on so many levels: spiritually, metaphysically, politically, and socially .... All living beings need to be considered as we create what our new existence looks like. This installation is about transition and the creative energies involved in drastic, positive, and rapid metamorphosis."
.
See "Falling Bowls" in its entirety, as well as the other fantastic works in "Expanded Dimensions" in today's curator's tour, viewable at: rebrand.ly/expanded-dimension-tour

Crows, ravens, magpies … oh my! Check out this drawing of 19 feathered friends also known as #corvids, brought to life by #OhioArtist Gretel Young.
.
Gretel shared her inspiration for this piece, which she submitted through the @OhioArtsBeacon: “The Corvid family includes crows and ravens, and since ‘Corvid’ is just one letter away from ‘Covid,’ I drew 19 cartoon corvids. This was my way of making sense of COVID-19. I wanted to show how adding one letter turns the word ‘Covid’ into something very different and maybe give others a new, less scary, perspective on the virus itself.”
