Horizons
by Shane Allbritton
About the Artwork:
This wall-mounted acrylic mural is displayed outside the Conference Hall. Captured in the mural are digitally modified photographs of various Air Products plant sites and nature from each region of the world combined into an abstract composition.
The manipulated images are spliced into vertical columns and interlaced with one another to reflect the company’s commitment to Sustainability.
From a distance, the overall mural creates a lively, vibrant impression of the various characteristics of each site. Upon closer inspection, the viewer will discover details that give away specific locations.
From left to right, the sites are arranged geographically from the Americas across the globe to Asia, characterizing the color palette of each region, and the reach of Air Products around the world. The title Horizons not only represents the physical boundary between earth and sky at each site but also the notion that innovative possibilities are limitless.
About the Artist:
Shane Allbritton is a visual storyteller and mixed-media artist working with diverse materials, ranging from traditionally hand-crafted artworks to computer-generated work. Her practice combines divergent aesthetic and an experiential graphic design background, often resulting in transformative public sculptures and installations.
