CONCEPT
My design depicts a nest of sparrows that has been built on top of a bottle tipped on its side. Inside the bottle, a skyline of Ithaca and some details of the town are shown. The bottle is a symbol of reuse and recycling. It is also why I call the design “Message In a Bottle”. The city inside the bottle is self sustaining like a terrarium. The “Ithaca in a bottle” is a suitable place for the birds to make a home, representing harmony with nature. The birds also represent sustainability, community, and partnership. Sparrows are birds that make their nests out of bits of found objects and are regularly seen hopping around and living around humans. |
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS:
Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, Partnership for the Goals I am an artist from Corning NY. I have always enjoyed the public art in Ithaca and am excited to be a part of it. Over the past 10 years I have painted murals in Corning and Elmira and worked with different organizations, artists, and students on large scale projects. Working on paintings in my studio is how I spend most of my time, but bringing meaningful art to a public space is what I am most passionate about. PREVIOUS MURALS & OTHER ART:
