Public art is very public - 500 ft underpass in Austin
/I thought I understood how it felt to make large scale pieces and have strangers see your work. But nothing fully prepared me for installing a 500 ft underpass (that’s almost 2 football fields) - people stopped and yelled thankyou out their car window, and beeped their horn to give a thumbs-up. A heavy traffic spot that was really grim has turned into an spot that makes you smile.
Before…
After
This past weekend my husband and I (he’s amazing) went and took care of all the weeds and blew all the debris off the sidewalk. Tidiness counts!
Video by Christian Bruncsak is pretty great, amazing photography + the drone shots from above are incredible. Massive thanks to the City of Austin, Cultural Arts and especially Art in Public Places. Love you lots.
