A brightly colored mural at San Diego County’s Waterfront Park tells a story in images about accepting people with autism into the art world and beyond.
It’s a gorgeous day at the Waterfront Park next to the County Administration Building; a short walk to San Diego Bay. It's a place where kids can ride a swing, splash in a fountain and see public art, like the"#19 Baseball Player" statue by Niki De Saint Phalle.“You can see it all the way from the trolley station and walking up — you can see it from a lot of different angles,” mural artist Hanna Gundrum said. “It just draws people in.
Revision founder and director Joy Boe calls art a"unifying force," because it doesn’t completely reveal the person behind it.“When you see a beautiful piece of art you don’t necessarily think, ‘Who would have created this? What kind of person is behind this?’ You immediately have a reaction to the art itself. The person comes secondary to the experience you’re having when you’re viewing art,” Boe said.
“And sometimes people can’t communicate typically through speech and language, but they may have a gift of objects. They might have a gift of piecing items together and creating a sculpture or putting colors together really beautifully, and to me, that’s a form of communication as well,” Boe said.
