Description

Gordon’s mural shows the artist in various stages of her creative process, reflecting the influence of her TSU art professors. In the composition, she portrays herself sculpting a terracotta bison, throwing pottery at a wheel, weaving at a loom, and drawing at an easel. A wispy fabric runs through the mural, a motif in some of her other works.
