"The River That Flows in Two Directions" by Rachel Baxter
“The River That Flows in Two Directions” by Rachel Baxter, completed in October 2017, is located on the I-787 retaining wall between Columbia and Water Streets. The mural shows an abstract mountain top landscape inspired by the Adirondacks evolving into a map of the Hudson River. Baxter’s inspiration came from thinking about the historical significance of the Hudson River, and how it continues to unite the state’s regions.
