Sides of the Town
Multimedia sculpture/mural
Spaceworks Artscape installation downtown Tacoma
I created “Sides of the Town” as a t-shirt campaign to unite the city of Tacoma’s neighborhoods. It sparked an arts and culture movement and injected a new found sense of pride into the city.
The Sides of the Town concept was transformed into a public art piece to further expound on the concept of “Unity in the Community”. I made 6 distinct sculptures by collecting clothing from each neighborhoods thrift stores and added a series of photographs of area landmarks. This exhibition displayed the parallel in the uniqueness and similarities between our distinctive sides of the city. No matter what side, it’s all the same town.
