Portfolio examples of the style that I would use for the Muni art project. Actual work created is detailed below.
I'm a finalist for the inaugural San Francisco Beautiful Muni Art project, which plans to place art in Muni buses. But the decision for the artwork is up to you!
Voting requires registration on Neighborland.com, a site devoted to empowering people to take action on local issues. It's a simple process which would take less than two minutes.
Here's my project proposal:
We Are San Francisco
There’s
been a lot of talk about the gentrification of San Francisco. The winners and
the losers. The old and the new. The “techies” and everyone else.
The
anger is real. The tension is palpable.
But with the wave of change are new ideas and new energy. The old San
Francisco is merging with the new San Francisco.
And
in unison, they announce, “I am San Francisco.”
For
my project proposal, I envision divided portraits of the people of San Francisco,
merged with another. Plumbers with bankers, techies with tattoo artists. From
the Presidio to the Portola, and the Marina to the Bayview. Just as Muni is a
system that connects neighborhoods, the portraits are a way to connect,
literally and figuratively, the rich cultural diversity of the city.
“The
Spirit of San Francisco” is about inclusion. Everyone from the freaks to the
geeks and the hipsters to the homeless. The
open arms of the city embrace all who reach for it. My project serves to bring
people together into the same “space” as a way urge unity through turbulent
times.
