Hoover Street between Las Vegas Boulevard and 4th Street

The patterns incorporated in ornamental are based on photographs by the
artist documenting brick walls in older Las Vegas neighborhoods. 
Reduced from the photographic to essential patterns and presented on a
mirrored material, the intent of this project is to suggest connection
among all downtown dwellers, old and new.

ornamental is a 120' long public artwork commissioned in association
with the Hoover Street Improvement Project.
Special thanks to Sam Cherry for his support of the project.
