Redding,  California

Spring

Fall

 Mural Concept

 Each Abutment is representative of a season, and each panel depicts a different cycle of life for the California poppy. Spring is shown as fresh buds, summer is in full bloom, fall the flower begins to close and in winter the petals give way to seeds which will birth a new spring. Each panel shows the movement of the sun in the sky as it moves through each season.
There is also a connecting arch that appears within each panel, re-emphasizing these concepts.The geometric patterns are Wintu basket patterns, recognizing the First People of the Redding California area.
