Wall Collage

Recently The Leonardo got a little more artistic, with the addition of a large wall collage across the way from Cafe Les Madeleines. The collage was created by Liberty Blake and Jann Haworth, a daughter and mother team respectively. The collage resembles colorful books stacked upon each other like cairns. "Libby" Blake, who has worked on other notable projects in Salt Lake like the 337 Project, carefully took time to paste the slices of fabric and illustrations to the wall.

Jann Haworth founded the Art Shack Studios and Glass Recycling Works in Sundance, Utah. Something really interesting about Haworth is that she co-created The Beatles' famous 1967 Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album cover. And in 2004 she organized a collaborative project to redefine the cover, with the SLC Pepper Project. You can learn about this project by clicking here.



Also, you can listen to The Leonardo Pocast no. 8 here, to hear Jann Haworth talk about her work and the Sgt. Pepper cover. She also shares her thoughts on The Leonardo concept. Haworth currently has an exhibition in Paris, at the Galerie du Centre.
