Kelly O'Brien, a late covert to the life of the international artist, spent last week installing a large original artwork titled "Hope Blossoms" at center court at the Huntington Mall. It will be displayed for six months.

The Microwave Project, founded by a West Virginia native, brought O'Brien to the mall last year to concoct "Grace's Garden," featuring a mannequin on a swing dressed in handmade multicolored paper flowers.
