Ajo Art…

 

Ajo was such an interesting town and I took a lot of pictures. Today I’m going to share with you some of the many murals that you’ll see around town.  (I’m waiting to share information about the gentleman who painted “The Night of the Lepus” mural once I get my facts straight from my all-things-Ajo source, Annie.)

 

These pictures were on the side of a food co-op.  They represent all the aspects of how the indigenous peoples harvested the bounty of the desert.

 

 

 

 

 

And I’m thinking if you live in Ajo, having a sense of humor helps. :)

 

This piece especially impressed me.  Nicole told me it made her think of a tessellation.  I’m not sure it qualifies since they seem to deal with polygons. This piece is huge – on the side of a building and how it goes from the negative spaces and the positive just blows my mind. Sadly,  I don’t know the name of the artist who did this one, because I would love to give them credit for their amazing work.

There is a lot more artsy about Ajo that’ll I continue to share.
