Happy Birthday Public Artist!

06May11

Last year I applied for a special public art submission through the PCNW – for 2′x8′ photographic panels to go onto King County Bus Shelters. There were 100 spots and I was told that I got between 2, 3, or 4. I got a letter stating that I would have 1 or more…sometime in 2011. Apparently, the panels (through a grant from 4Culture!), were to be printed on 2′x8′ wooden panels and would show up at bus stops as they were being built. The timeline? TBD.

Well, while working at the photo center last night, one of the folks there (thank you Ish!!!) said she’d seen my work! Wow. It was up! And it was actually in a place people would see (ie, not a park and ride in covington or some out of the way place)! It’s on the 26/28 bus route, at Dexter and Denny (on dexter, going north, on the west side) a hundred feet or so from Winston Wachter Gallery. Wow. Not only accessible, but really public, too!

I had to stop by of course, on my way home! Sorry for the dark photos, it was night after all! So! It’s official! I’m naow a public artist and can add that accolade to my CV! Oh, and I’m turning 40 tomorrow, so what a great birthday present, eh?
