Located on the side of the Lofts at West Station, James Bullough’s mural depicts a fragmented, free-falling woman. When asked about its meaning, the artist left it open to public interpretation, “Especially with public art I find it extremely interesting to let other people come up with their interpretation. I’m sitting here all day listening to people over my shoulders say what they think it is.” Bullough also hoped to encourage businesses and artists to support the local art scene.
