Norkaleidoscope

This mural stretching across Audible's cafe wall interprets the Newark skyline as if viewed through a kaleidoscope. “Norkaleidoscope" is a mash-up of a dialectical pronunciation of Newark, “Nork,” and “kaleidoscope.” The concept of a kaleidoscope is especially useful in describing how a new view can emerge from combining different views or perspectives. Though city skylines are typically depicted from a single, static viewpoint, this work responds to the dynamic diversity of Newark’s architecture and citizenry by exuberantly capturing the ever-changing vistas, sights, and natural beauty that can be experienced while moving through this vibrant city.
