My
commute lasts 1/2 hour each way if I walk fast enough. When the weather
is warmer I slow down, walk along different streets, and try to look at
the things I pass each day without really seeing. New York is a pedestrian
city. You begin to notice the people who travel the same paths at the
same times. Sometimes you even notice that they are noticing the same
things you do—the rat dashing between parked cars, the wilting bouquet
of balloons stuck in a tree. For cracks in the pavement I propose to create
three sculptures that will function as private jokes for the residents
of my own neighborhood of Fort Greene, Brooklyn. I think that people stop
seeing the things that are right in front of them, and hope that by hiding
my pieces in plain sight I will lead people to look at their environment
in a new way.
