A floor mosaic for the new Marcy Plaza in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY. The design was based on a quilt design, sometimes called the “mathematical star”, used by a variety of communities. The “patterns” in the quilt’s diamonds are derived from photographs of 18 historically significant sites in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The sites were selected by Community Board 3.

In 2018, Children of Promise, a local nonprofit serving children with incarcerated parents, used the mosaic as a starting point for researching neighborhood history. Harvey and Kendal Henry from New York’s Percent for Art gave a presentation about the work and children were paired with mentors working in architecture and urban planning.  They presented their findings to parents, friends and News12Brooklyn on February 3, 2018.
