The installation is simply my handwriting with a Sharpie. It was then scanned, enlarged, and CNC milled out HDPE plastic by a local manufacturer. With a simple bolt & washer system, we installed in on the public fence. While all work on the Greenway is temporary, this piece has an extended run of 9 months. After that, it will be relocated to a permanent location in the great Boston area.

I was invited to create an installation within the Rose Kennedy Greenway, which is a public park that goes directly through the center of Boston, MA. I worked with Public Art Curator Lucas Cowan to create a 320’ outdoor installation.
