This piece honors the stunning architecture that is an important element of San Francisco. In addition to icons like the Painted Ladies, Coit Tower, Transamerica Building, and the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco is home to unheralded gems including the beautiful mosaic floor of a plaza near Montgomery Street. My interpretation interrupts the regularity of the pattern and gives our eye a path to follow, while giving a nod to a Bauhaus aesthetic.
