Many Small Ships
Artist Carley Jean Parrish painted the image on canvas as part of a mixed medium art installation. Along with the canvas (printed on woven nylon mesh fabric), there is also aspects of relief metal and sculptural elements, giving the surface a multi-dimensional appearance.
30'x60' mural of the original Michigan Avenue lift bridge - yes, the same one that was destroyed by an errant freighter as it veered off course. The bridge was never replaced unfortunately and that's partially why it's so hard to get the Outer Harbor (see more).
The mural, entitled Many Small Ships, graces the backside of John McKendry's Hi-Temp Fabrication building - the same building that recently acted as host to this Sarah Myers exhibit. Look for the work of art at the back parking lot of 79 Perry Street, situated on Illinois Street across from the First Niagara Center.
