<p>Bisbee Walls: Past and Present is a love letter to the working class ingenuity that built a town up steep canyon walls so that thousands of people could live close to the Bisbee, Arizona mines that were some of the richest copper mines in the world at the turn of the 20th century. Hundreds of rock walls were built with native rock to hold up the houses on the sides of canyon walls. The Past section of the book shows the types of rocks used and early walls and the evolution of building with mortar and other materials. The Present part of the story features the most beautiful and distinctive contemporary stone walls, murals and mosaic walls that have been created by 20 local artists with over 150 photographs of their work and descriptions of how they work.STONE WALLSLee AdcockJosildo BonfimCarl StetterGil NiederlitzMatt McClellanMURALSJudy PerryReva Myers ShemanskiRose JohnsonMonti EatonGraffiti - Ephemeral Wall ArtFrank Kiman, AKA 'Pablo Pencil'Carolyn TorontoChristopher Bailey HillMary Jane BankCommon Ground ProjectMOSAIC WALLSFred AlbertJoAnn BrownRose Cobis / Ed GondekLooking at these unique creations will serve to inspire others in the community to indulge their artistic desires by undertaking their own wall creations, possibility giving rise to a common person's art movement.</p>
