"Wheels" (2010) by Anne Marie Karlsen

DESCRIPTION: Approx. 50-foot high by 50-foot wide ceramic tile mosaic, mounted on the side of a multi-story parking structure

According to Karlsen, the inspiration for her mosaic was the Pacific Wheel Ferris wheel that used to be on the Santa Monica pier, as well as the idea of automobile hubcaps at the parking facility.
