"Earth Wall,living Wall", Designed by Joan Baron Completed in 1999.

"Earth Wall, Living Wall", promotes the beauty of the desert and is comprised of rammed earth, ceramic, concrete, tinta stain and glass block.
Throughout the construction of the wall, the artist conducted a number of workshops, which included participants of various ages from the community wherein contributors imprinted their hand prints to create ceramic tiles. These hands symbolize a vehicle used by many different cultures to communicate connections between one's place in time and in the universe. Rows of these tiles are now embedded on the surface of the walls and will serve as part of a collective memory. They are also reminiscent of fossils brought together to tell a greater story. The formation of the tiles within the walls also suggests crystal veins that might appear within natural rock formations.
