PERRY HARVEY PARK LIFETILES VIDEO PROOF OF REPAIR

In the late summer of 2023, Tampa, Florida's Perry Harvey Park hand-cast glass LIFETILES installation was severely vandalized. About ten percent of the tiles comprising the work were smashed. The neighboring community, which had grown to love the work since its installation over a decade ago, felt the damage deeply.
In early April 2024, funded by Tampa's Arts & Cultural Affairs Dept., the original LIFETILES team, made up of artist Rufus Butler Seder, installer Howard Bowen and detailer Laurel Smith, returned to repair the work. The results of their efforts are shown in this video.
