Josh and I designed Sunrise in October, 2011, for 46 for 46, a program of the Arts Council of Indianapolis. We were assisted in Indianapolis by Shana Siegel, Laura Nesson, and Matt Olson. The mural is on the side of Free Wheelin, and awesome youth bike program in Indianapolis that we LOVED working with. They are just awesome.
The mural merges the cassette of a bicycle wheel with a sunrise on the facade of Freewheelin, an earn-a-bike program in inner city Indianapolis. Adolescents work at the bike shop, learn to repair bikes and run the store; after a set number of hours they get to take home a bike. The mural points to a dawning of new knowledge, self-empowerment, and hope. The arrows radiate energy, embodying new life experiences that begin inside the walls of Freewheelin and are taken back out into the world.
