The Friends of Kim Brenegar are thinking of everyone -- everyone affected by the Coronavirus pandemic, which surely is EVERYONE -- and wishing you a few moments of serenity as you pass through Kim's Garden, or another garden, or anywhere outside in nature that gives you a brief respite from the cares of the world . . .
“A garden to
walk in and immensity to dream in--what more could he ask? A few flowers at his
feet and above him the stars.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Hello, who maintains the mosaic? Sadly it is not holding up well and there is now broken glass and rusted metal. Hoping to figure out how to restore the mosaic. Thank you, a neighbor.

ReplyDeleteHi, Laura - Thanks for your message. Sorry not to reply sooner. The Kim's Garden Steering Committee IS aware of repairs needed to the mosaic. The artist, Deirdre Saunder, has been trying to secure grant funding from the original sponsor of the project, DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, for these repairs (in order to pay the professional tile artisan; Deirdre has donated the entirety of her design and labor). But she's had no success so far. Plus the pandemic has complicated things. Now it's winter, and not the right time for mosaic work. We hope next spring it will all come together.
