Mushroom Mosaic

We completed our first mosaic project with a ceramic mushroom sculpture at a private residence! Inspired by the Murakami exhibit at the MCA, we repaired the (previously) damaged sculpture, painted it a bright red, and added a beautiful mosaic eye. The mushroom is keeping a watchful eye on Sheridan Road in Highland Park.

Chicago Public Artwork Goes International

In the summer of 2007, “Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” was launched in Chicago. Nancy Pochis Bank was among an international group of artists selected by the jury to design and create a globe to be displayed in the lakefront exhibit.

Since the start of the "Cool Globes" project, Nancy has created four 5’ globes that have been exhibited across the United States and internationally.

“Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet” is a non-profit organization established to raise awareness of climate change and inspire individuals and community leaders to embrace solutions. The public art exhibit features larger-than-life globes, each designed to depict a solution to global warming.
