Adriane Shown

Colour coordinated with some outdoor instillation art. This work is meant to have direct interaction. Unless you are invited to do so, climbing art is not okay 🎠 But as a kid & teen in NYC & DC, there were plenty of opps to climb on huge bronzes of lions, horses, dinos (& historical figures) I waded through fountains, water features, reflecting pools. What? I was a latch key kid…& safety of such kids, or art work, was not a societal priority back then. Okay, maybe I was still scaling some buildings, wandering through abandoned warehouses & culverts well into my 20s. Oh the rooftops, the air shafts & rusted fire escapes! Guh. I’m not so keen on heights now as a result 🌱 I always stayed on the path in the Botanical Garden though, I didn’t want to kill a snail or beetle 💜🗝

So many celestial occurrences, so many pieces fitting together, only so many days to work it out 🚙 💨 💨
Get busy,baby!
