About

A ceramic-tiled trash can from 2003, each face a different composition. Two faces are Baumann's own work — a coastal scene with fish in conversation (one says "cool", the other "encinitas") and a purple panel lettered "Ocean Breezes · Surf · Sky · Encinitas." The other two faces are community mosaics: individual tiles painted by locals, many signed by name.
