Enchanted Hillside

Enchanted Hillside was inspired by the site; a small grassy slope nestled behind Palm Avenue in downtown Sarasota. I thought it would be fun to activate the site by calling attention to the unique and somewhat hidden slope using a colorful grid of surveyors tape and caution flags. Next to the hill stood a fenced in playground. Adding to the situation of play, I encouraged the art participants to roll down the hill in cardboard boxes during the installation opening.

    • Last night’s #BugJumpBaltimore #detournement: fixing a rusty, collapsed scupper drain aka #mobilitydeathtrap that @bmorecitydot can’t seem to fix with cast aside DOT delineators. Stay safe out there!
    • Just doin my thing: hanging around #Mondawmin in my #BigJumpBaltimore t-shirt before a TV interview about the impact of e-scooters in Baltimore, as captured by Street View back in June. #TAPdruidhill
    • I’m humbled that @jdesantisart and @courtneybettle invited me to collaborate on realizing their #ArchesAndAccess vision for illuminating the historic #DruidHillPark Gate in the style of Jessy’s beautiful painting. Jessy is a self-taught artist, Courtney is a talented organizer, and both are moms with amazing families living in #ReservoirHill. Together we expanded the vision to include lights leading into the park, activated by a joyful community parade showing what life could be like without such huge highways around our cherished green space. #grahamprojects #participatoryart #socialpractice #WestBaltimore
    • Thanks to everyone who made our #ArchesAndAccess #lightart & community #parade a huge success on Sunday! The project was inspired by the creativity of and organized in collaboration with #ReservoirHill artist @jdesantisart & resident @courtneybettle as part of the #BrilliantBaltimore / #lightcity festival. With generous support from @reshillbmore & @promoandarts we illuminated the historic gate to #DruidHillPark, shutdown Madison Ave & Druid Park Lake Dr to cars, and created a spectacular place for neighbors to march, dance, & read poetry in celebration of our West Baltimore communities united in green space and creating #streetsforpeople. Shout out to Councilman @leonfpinkett for getting us Sheriff traffic control & reading his stirring poem on community, @rawlingsconservatory for hosting an incredible party,
@side_a_photo for the rad photo booth, food trucks @everythingturkey & @wildthyme, @benevolentbubbles for the uplifting #bicycle bubbles, @mexiartbyale for the Catrin & Catrina #puppets, @girlscouts for representing, and the amazing @baltimoretwilighters for the rockin #marchingband beats and dance performances.
