This March, I had the privilege of creating a public art installation for Lowcountry Local First's 10 year anniversary celebration. Nine local artists and I had the challenge of designing 8-ft letters that were installed around the Lowcountry and spell out "LOVE A LOCAL".
I am honored to have been asked to create work that is "intended to encourage conversation and awareness of the value community‐based businesses bring to our quality of life." Charleston isn't exactly known for public art, so it has been pretty cool being apart of a project that has utilized public spaces. Currently, my letter is on view at the South Windermere Center on Folly Road (near Earthfare and Half Moon Outfitters).
From April 21st to June 20th, The Bend is partnering with Lowcountry Local First to display all of the letters together on their 17-acre property overlooking the Ashley River. The exhibit is open to the public, and guests are encourage to snap and tag photos with #LoveALocal.
Thank you to everyone at Lowcountry Local First and Chambers Austelle for including me in this awesome project! xx
