Travelin' Light
3/8" Vitreous Glass Tile
2012

Over 88,000 glass tiles in 112 vibrant colors make up Marcelo Novo’s mosaic mural at the Albemarle Park and Ride. The 18’ wide and six feet high mural integrated into the exterior of the driver’s comfort station is clearly visible from approaching buses and passing cars as well as pedestrians. From a distance the overall image reads like one of the artist’s bold surrealist paintings and you can see residential landscape and a modern city bus within the body of the horse.
