Kennedy Plaza Post Card

No matter where you go, there you are! The Kennedy Plaza Post Card Utility Box’s bus station patina green color scheme frames images representing real and imaginary beings connected to each other in a place where travel paths mix and tangle. Bus Riding Kennedy Plaza commuters  come in all shapes and sizes with  different reasons and routes,  but they’re all connected as mass transit users, mapping out travels with bus lines that zig zag them to work, school, family and home, reliant on a bus plaza launching pad for adventures to destinations familiar and unknown. 

This work is intended to encourage positive imagining of public space and advocate for all transit riders and a stable, functioning transit system.

It’s an honor to have painted a site specific Utility Box mural in a part of Downtown that I have significant connection to. I’ve performed and created artwork in the Kennedy Plaza location for decades and , a few years ago,  operated an open door studio space  inside the Bus Station Building (called the “Space Transformation Station” )  which had positive impact on the transit riding community. 

My painted Utility Box, “KP Postcard”  is intended to encourage positive imagining of public space and advocate for all transit riders and a stable, functioning transit system.The Alien Creatures that appear in the painting represent the BIG NAZO creatures that frequently appear and interact with commuters in the bus plaza, and the human figures are  directly related to painted cardboard images I’ve created in the past to represent vulnerable populations  in organized rallies and protests advocating for rights to housing and public transportation.
