Scheduled for installation in 2027, Deer in the Cosmos: Looking for Time will span two adjoining corner walls of the Garden Conference Room, creating a continuous visual landscape that opens the room outward into a vibrant garden scene. By bringing nature’s imagery indoors, the artwork will transform the space into an immersive, nature-inspired environment.
Because the conference room features predominantly glass walls, the mural will be visible from the exterior hallway, inviting engagement from passersby even before they enter the space.
A distinctive feature of the installation is the integration of a clock in the starry sky of the mural’s narrative.
Deer in the Cosmos: Looking for Time will elevate the Garden Conference Room from a utilitarian meeting space into a place of imagination, wonder, and inspired placemaking, enriching the daily experience of Emeryville staff, visitors, and community members alike.
