Artist - Anne Marchand (www.annemarchand.com)
Location - 18th Street S. between S. Bell Street and S. Eads Street in Arlington, VA
Materials - Acrylic on Concrete - 9' - 4" x 160' Mural

Description - Designed to complement the bold mosaics of Radiance, located across the street, Prism takes on the quantum physics conversation of light as particle and ray. Interpreted as 35 colorful pieces of similar size and scope, Prism demonstrates the effect and impact of white light when passing through an actual "prism." From monotone, comes vibrance - from concrete to color. The resultant facets of color add sparkle and interest to the pedestrian walkway and street at this key gateway to Crystal City.
