pump house mural




The South Tacoma Pump Station located along Water Flume Line Trail provides a possible canvas for 4 paintings to be created by a local artist.  There are 4 recessed panels that were originally stained glass windows created by a WPA artist.  Drawing on the New Deal history of the building, I could envision a layering of aquatic themes celebrating infrastructure, environmental stewardship and water as a source of life.  A blue palette would tie-in to other proposed artwork along the trail and within the park.
