Stacia Goodman titled this mosaic-ceramic tile piece "Leave Your Mark." The inspiration for the mixed-media mosaic began with southern Minnesota's landscape of rolling hills and serene waterways. It is made with ceramic tile, handmade tile, stained glass, recycled glass and items donated by the college's academic programs, such as large hex bolts that appear in tree trunks and colored electrical wire sprouts from the rising sun, among others.
