SEMW̱OŦEN (Be Silent) at Cloverdale Branch
Featured Image
Joan Williams’s vinyl wrap design for a wall in the Cloverdale branch is based on traditional weaving patterns done on blankets. The top row represents trees and sky, the middle section depicts flowers in a field, and the bottom, wavy section represents water. The artwork is a mix of contemporary and traditional techniques. The title refers both to the peace and quiet of nature, as well as the silent reading that happens in the library.
