In 2018, international artist Guido van Helten was commissioned to complete a mural on the Ardent Mills silos in downtown Mankato by CityArt—a joint venture of Twin Rivers Council for the Arts and the City Center Partnership. His artwork specifically addresses the existing diversity as a source of pride for the Mankato community. The concept was derived from a summary of experiences and discoveries in color and culture as part of the Mahkato Powwow and Education Days in 2018 and 2019. Each silo is 135 feet tall. This mural brings together the shared ideals of community, diversity, inclusion, and participation. In consultation with various Native and non-Native community representatives, the artwork took shape and allows for an open interpretation as the viewer takes in all angles in one of the largest murals completed by the artist to date.

As far as color symbolism , pink hues speak of gentleness, happiness and love. A very romantic flower color whether a person, ideal, memory, or place in my view.; pink is also a symbol of grace and innocence. Footnote in a hectic world.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. — Robert Frost

The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.

Today marks 36 days the Fed has been shut down, the longest budget gridlock ever.

But let's not forget the previous 2018 record of 35 days - back when the orange turd held out when he wanted Americans to pay for a southern border wall that he campaigned on saying "Mexico will pay for it "

Being a photographer, at least for me, has nothing to do with money. It's about intention. Why you pick up the camera, what you want to say, what you want to
share with the world.
It's the medium I chose to express with and communicate with the world.
