Welcome to the Tiny Room for Elephants Festival Audio Tour, presented by Love and Grit, a podcast from Visit Philadelphia that explores the authentic and diverse stories of the city.
The work you are viewing is by artist Ash Ryan (AKA: Ash Eye Art)
This work is inspired by the Tiny Room for Elephants Festival. It is a conglomeration of different creative aspects involved in the festival. It embodies what inspires the artist—juxtaposed to the tools to transform that inspiration into reality.
When asked, what does the phrase “made with love, inspired by grit” mean to your creative process, the artist responded: “The theme inspired me to put a lot of love into the mural—I tried to pack a lot of imagery and detail into one piece. I wanted to make sure that the mural was bright and bold to reflect that Philly grit vibe.”
