From cardinal to chili pepper, cowfish to cyano-bacterium, Charley
Harper's Web of Life brings together 81 interconnected life-forms
in a colorful homage to the biological sciences. Worked in his
signature minimal realism style, this celebrated ceramic tile
mural is showcased within Pearson Hall, a sciences hub on the
campus of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.
Harper, a wildlife artist as well as a lifelong naturalist and
conservationist, said "I regard the picture as an ecosystem in
which all the elements are interrelated, interdependent, perfectly
balanced... in a world of chaos, the picture is one small
rectangle in which the artist can create an ordered universe."
Harper's entire mural, made of thousands of small tile squares, is
reproduced on the included key.
