I painted crosswalks over the course of three days using the City’s roadmarking tools, traffic paint, and equipment. I only pre-designed part of one section and relied on my ability to ‘play jazz’ with the giant stencils of symbols and letters on-site. My goal was to strike a balance in terms of 'weight' and color, while also discovering new patterns and symbols along the way through creative configuration.
Big shout-out to Lancaster's traffic painting crew—Chris, Dave, and Gary—who were initially skeptical about my vision and using their equipment but gradually came on board as the work started to take shape.
Commissioned by the City of Lancaster in collaboration with the Museum of Art and History, and curated by Museum Manager Andi Compognone.
