Why?, 2008
Construction paper, acrylic and low tack rhoplex adhesive
6' x 6'
Organized twenty three artists to devise and install six foot reminders for Baltimore City. Each idea was hand written with a sharpie onto a real note, scaled digitally and screen printed onto canary yellow paper. The back of the note was sprayed proportionally with a low tack glue allowing it to be removed easily like the real object itself. There was no damage to any property.

This is the first piece of artwork one views when arriving to Baltimore, via Amtrak. Does this "public sculpture" merely state that the city is not afraid to show a contemporary piece in a traditional spot? I'm not sure. Either way, this artistic decision has clearly been a focal point in the city's dialogue. As I was placing my note, someone drove by and shouted "What does that mean?"
