About the Artwork

Joyce Moty's sculpture Memory Gem is composed of colorful enamel panels that depict stylized imagery of wildlife threatened by urban development. Intermixed with the enamel parts are mirrored panels, which capture the ever-changing scenery of the surrounding environment. Students, and all viewers, who view the mural become integrated into its concept and composition via the mirrors.
