Storyteller Series - #4 Curlicue Motif (close-up)

... continuing onwards with our visual tour of the large scale hand-built ceramic sculpture garden at the Rosa Parks Elementary School in San Diego.
I will sometimes do a close-up blip so you can really see the detail, and today is one such time.  The curlicue motif is on the right side of the podium book, at the bottom of the book, under the dedication date.  It is rather plain compared to the rest of the artwork, but is a re-occurring motif, which made me feel we needed to focus on it's classical yet simple design.
The information on the second half of the podium book reads:

BENEFACTORS

The Rosa Parks Storyteller sculpture garden has been generously supported by the Rob Goodman and Price Charities.

Rob Goodman, a friend of the Price family, originally suggested that he wanted to provide funding for an outdoor artwork in City Heights.  Various sites and artists were reviewed before the final selections were made.  The Rosa Parks School site was chosen because the school embodies the culture and values of the City Heights community.

The artist, Kay Mura, a resident of Kailua, Hawaii, was selected because of her experience and passion for creating outdoor ceramic sculptures for schools.

It is our hope that the Rosa Parks Storyteller will be a source of joy and inspiration for generations of Rosa Parks students and staff and for the entire City Heights community
