The first piece of art to grace the side of the Village Underground wall is a green, white and black mural by Roberto Ciredz. The mural looks like a topographic chart. A lot of his work appears to be inspired by three-dimensional graphs or charts, grayscale colour swatches, or dimensional shapes. I watched the work take shape over the course of a very wet and rainy week or two. I don't think it would have been a fun time to paint due to all of the constant bad weather that was happening when this mural was painted. Also, sadly, some of the paint chipped away (or perhaps a vehicle caused the damage) quite soon after the mural was completed.

The running white lines that make up the graph remind me of how wet and rainy the weather was then (and currently is) recently.
