Commissioned to enliven this stretch of Key Boulevard, the 17 mosaic panels of Continuum by artists Tom Ashcraft and Y. David Chung depict motion through a sequence of abstracted botanical forms. A second work by Chung and Ashcraft, Reposto, is situated at the main entrance of this building on Oak Street and consists of two mosaic benches. Although Continuum is two-dimensional and Reposto sculptural, the shared color scheme, mosaic design, and references to natural forms visually unite these works.
