Edison School Labyrinth and Mosaic
Honoring the final wish of beloved teacher, Jill Bailey, for a labyrinth of peace at Edison Elementary to help children find a peaceful way to calm themselves, the Edison Community built a labyrinth on school property. I was asked to create the center mosaic, symbolizing the equanimity of a blue heron, and using words of peace. This has become a place where people can find peace, safety and calm during the day.
