The Orthogenic School, affiliated with the University of Chicago, is a residential facility for youth. I worked four months with art teachers and students to produce this mural for the dining room. The mural and the process of creating it were designed to parallel or replicate the students' journey through the school. Thus, instead of making tiles to fit a specific plan, the design evolved along the way. Students began by creating a large tile about themselves, which were then arranged to approximate a "community". They augmented the mural's theme of journey by adding tiles in the shapes of their hands and of birds. Remaining spaces were filled with additional tiles made by other students and staff. An Illinois Arts Council grant helped fund this project.
