Josh and I designed FLY 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 columns form a zoetrope depicting a rocket launch. The sequence is visible out of a car’s window or in the rear-view mirror in either direction on the highway. To a child looking out the passenger window of a moving car, the space will become a motion picture.
The word “FLY”, in the context of street-art, takes on multiple meanings. The Saturn V rocket is notable for its flawless record over its career from 1967-1972, and has carried humans farther than any other rocket.
These rockets fly up, finding their way across the columns, telling a story for the passing drivers and passengers. The brilliant colors bring joy and energy to the street, illuminating the underpass. Potential is revealed.
It’s kind of like I flipped the image, but scroll right for the whole story…
Oh yeah, that’s BIG!!
The approach…
And when you’re driving away, you can check it out in your mirror…
