WHEELS 

People walk  walk past  a tile mural  art work by  Anne Marie Karlsen entitled “Wheels” (2010) on Friday, August 13, 2010. The art work is on parking structure # 7 at Santa Monica Place on Second Street. Depending on one's vantage point, the composition of Wheels transforms, revealing new forms and replicating circular motion. From afar, the wheel motif in the artwork is loosely inspired by the Pacific Wheel on the Santa Monica Pier, and upon closer examination, abstract shapes within the circular forms are, in fact, photographic images of the retired Pacific Wheel in motion. The effect is topsy-turvy. The color is bold and joyous. The history of Santa Monica is told.
