Since a big part of me is still that young girl growing up at the beach in Florida, this twenty-five foot long mobile raises for me important questions about the state of our rivers and oceans and what we want to inhabit them: the real creatures of the sea or plastic facsimiles. The Whale initially was a temporary installation hung at <a href='http://www.emmanuelonhigh.org/'>Emmanuel Episcopal Church</a> in Alexandria, Virginia, as part of a fundraiser for <a href='http://www.acps.k12.va.us/profiles/maury.php'>Matthew Maury Elementary School</a>, and after the event the church welcomed it for an extended showing that was very much appreciated! https://luisatio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/alexandria-waterfront-mural-at-chinquapin1.jpgAlexandria Waterfront Mural at ChinquapinThis thirty-six-foot panoramic collage co-created with my long-time teaching and art collaborator <a href='http://www.gryphonhouse.com/authors/index.asp?ID=ashp'>Peggy Ashbrook</a> explores the ecology and evolution of Alexandria's waterfront communities and the relationship between Alexandria's natural and built environments, a part of our experience that often is lost for us as we become increasingly urbanized. In taking the viewpoint of the Potomac River and therefore not distinguishing between the importance of historic community institutions built and shaped by Alexandria's African American and white communities in the neighborhoods along the Potomac's banks, the collage also tries to prompt us to consider some important social truths about the history and legacies of our Alexandria's experience as the northernmost outpost of Jim Crow segregation. That it hangs prominently in a public space for children, Alexandria City's <a href='http://alexandriava.gov/recreation/info/default.aspx?id=12352#SoftPlayroom'>Soft Play Room at the Chinquapin Recreation Center</a>, is therefore as an important marker for the continuing evolution of the City of Alexandria itself. Children can see aspects of the art of <a href='http://www.beardenfoundation.org/artlife/biography/biography.shtml'>Romare Bearden</a> in the collaging technique and of the great Mexican muralists like <a href='http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1168'>Diego Rivera</a> in the scope and positioning of the work's different elements.https://luisatio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/alexandria-waterfront-mural-at-chinquapin.jpgAlexandria Waterfront Mural at Chinquapin (2009)This thirty-six-foot panoramic collage co-created with my long-time teaching and art collaborator <a href='http://www.gryphonhouse.com/authors/index.asp?ID=ashp'>Peggy Ashbrook</a> explores the ecology and evolution of Alexandria's waterfront communities and the relationship between Alexandria's natural and built environments, a part of our experience that often is lost for us as we become increasingly urbanized.
