Where the Sidewalk Ends
Ava Rockafield completed a special project with Professor Jingjing Lou in fall 2020. For the special project course, Ava worked on finishing the mural that Hannah Oxford had started but could not finish due to COVID lockdown in Spring 2020. Hannah left Beloit to attend graduate school at University of New Mexico.
Hannah, who majored in Environmental Studies with a minor in Education and Youth Studies, and Ava with a Major in Art completed this painting as a depiction of the city of Beloit and the Merrill Community Garden which was inspired by the 1974 Shel Silverstein poem “Where the Sidewalk Ends.” The garden sits between two sidewalks and replicates his description of a peaceful place.
