Study of Edward Muybridge 2004 Castle Street, Kingston Town Centre
For the centenary of Eadwearde Muybridge we were asked to design a beautiful mosaic in the centre of Kingston. In true Save the World fashion it was based on a design by the eleven year old Ellie Felician who won a school wide design competition.

The design was implemented by the Save the World team led by Miriam Zadik Gold. Again it was volunteers from the Kingston community that got together under the Welsh Hall roof to make a truly beautiful mosaic. It can be seen in Castle Street, Kingston.
