I Wandered

Public Art Installation

Project Overview

A collaboration with Kate Gilbert for the Fort Point Arts Community’s annual Art Walk, Boston; May 10-June 3, 2014. I Wandered celebrates the joyous arrival of spring and invites one to explore the Fort Point through poetry. Large graphic daffodils and select phrases from “I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud,” William Wordsworth’s 1807 poem about discovering a “host of dancing daffodils,” can be found in six different spots around the Fort Point neighborhood—encouraging us to consider “the sparkling waves of glee,” to closely observe our geography and place, and to reconnect with the lost art of meditative walking. Cut vinyl and tape.

 

LOCATION: Boston, MA
SERVICES: Installation Design, Public Art, Community Design
