Artists Andy Wasserman, of Vershire, left and Evie Lovett, of Putney, right, install “Passage,” a piece of public art they co-created with artist Elizabeth Billings, meant to enhance a neglected railroad underpass in South Royalton, Vt., on Friday, Sept. 30, 2022. The work, a mural depicting a progression of the four seasons on an opposing abutment from 91 convex mirrors backlit by LED lights and arranged to evoke the White River on the opposite, cost roughly $63,000 and was paid for with grants from the Vermont Better Places program, AARP, Vermont Arts Council, and private contributions.
