The Project
The mural, painted by Illia Barger and sponsored by the Arts Council of Princeton and Terra Momo Bread Company, commemorates three collaborative temporary public art installations located in empty lots on Paul Robeson Place between 2002-2009. Herban Garden, Terra Momo’s produce garden, was created by landscape designer Peter Soderman. It became the inspiration for two subsequent public sculpture gardens: Writers Block and Quark Park, conceived of by Kevin Wilkes, AIA; Peter Soderman and Alan Goodheart, ASLA.

The Artist
The muralist, Illia Barger is the ACP’s current Anne Reeves Artist in Residence. She is a
renowned painter of large scale works, murals and owner/designer of Pantaluna, a line of
creative, upcycled clothing. She recently completed a new major mural commission at Capital Health—Hamilton.
