Mark Fields | Piedmont | 2007 | Glass Mosaic | Piedmont Road
Drawing from the aesthetic history of Fort Worth, Mark Fields uses the same colors of early curbside street sign mosaics – blue and white. The addition of red tiles and the undulating pattern alludes to the presence of nearby Southwest Boulevard (Texas State Highway 183) which linked workers’ neighborhoods to the General Dynamics plant, known for manufacturing one of the world’s most popular jet fighter: the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
