The City of Lowell’s Cultural Affairs and Special Events Office (CASE) has selected me as one of the artists to participate in the cities "Block Project" and has given me 12 jersey barriers to paint. The jersey barriers are used around the perimeter of special events including the Folk Festival, WinterFest, Kinetic Sculpture Race and others to provide safety for the general public while attending these events.The goal is to brighten the streetscapes and create affirmative messaging for festival attendees and commuters. Lowell has banners throughout the city with five different colors which I'll be incorporating into the design which will be a mixture of abstract expressionism and graffuturism. Here are a few shots from the start of the project. i'll be documenting just about every phase.
