Silvia López Chavez’s Brilliant Mural in the Museum is a Rich Resource for Her Fluent Artwork in the Park! This post matches a few photos of the recently completed mural with excerpts from wall signage, as one way to connect this important indoor resource with the temporary (through May, 2027) installation outdoors.

Delighted by the presence of this inviting installation in July, I planned to follow how the art reflects, absorbs, and responds to changing lights, colors, weather and other conditions of each season. The belated first post here offers quotes, notes, and resources to explain what’s happening in my photos from mid-October and to anticipate what might happen in future months. Excited to explore those experiences in sequel posts, I’m sharing now.
