15 | The Ascension of Abel
Mural | Isiah Lattimore | Flint, MI
About This Installation
I want to draw parallels between the experience I had with ArtPath 2020 with what I hope the public will receive from this new image. What better way to do that than using the space to connect both ends of the wall into one cohesive piece. My plan is to reinvent the 2020 “St. Cecilia” with a similar motif of the “Ascension of Abel.” This is a metaphor for the process the nation is currently in. Where Cecilia was the image of the nation tiered and worn from external forces, (which I think is fair to say we all felt in 2020) The Abel motif represents progress through sacrifice. Offering what was for what will be. Like a phoenix, through death to be reborn. I think everyone agrees as Covid seems to be in the back 9, we all know whatever “normal” will look like from now on it will be different than before.

Under the I-496 Bridge
This expansive wall lines the river trail and has been an excellent place for murals in past ArtPath exhibitions. In both 2019 and 2020 ArtPath artists created murals in multiple sections of the wall which still exists today.
