Tobin is naturally drawn to geometry. Her work is not
experienced in a single glance, but neither does it require
interpretation to respond to it. This mosaic purposefully
evolves and changes as the viewer observes it. The progression
in the piece is seen in the variety of color and surface texture
you experience as you walk past the building, allowing you to
experience different elements each time you pass by.

This mosaic is inspired by aerial views of the West Texas
landscape. The designs are based on the geometric landscape
patterns created by the mechanics of irrigation. The artist’s
interpretation of crop circles are featured in conjunction with
the more delicate patterns created by the oil production sites.
