Projects funded nationwide through public and private funders show that putting arts at the center of planning efforts can help build community resiliency and produce more creative and robust planning outcomes. While at the cutting edge of public engagement, cities throughout the country are using creative placemaking strategies to build trust, listen deeply, bring the unseen to life, and transform citizen’s relationships with their city governments. https://nicolekistler.com/VESSELS Mon, 11 Jun 2018 21:24:00 +0000 Nicole Kistler Studio https://nicolekistler.com/VESSELS VESSELS A series of 18 cast-iron sculptures dot the community garden that occupies Seattle Public Utilities property at Beacon Reservoir. Building on the inspiration of the reservoir as a container, they evoke puffball mushrooms holding spores, berries holding seeds, seedpods and ceramic water jugs. Likewise, they hold stories from the community. I interviewed volunteers and neighbors over several summer months capturing food stories and traditions on audio, and embedding them into the permanent works.

It can quickly transform a streetscape almost instantly from car-dominated to one with amenities to enhance the pedestrian experience. It is a lushly planted, living, breathing amenity that is extremely versatile for a rugged urban environment.

Recalling carefree childhood days of fort building, lollygagging and daydreaming, each lantern is crafted from a collage of vintage 1970′s era harvest gold fabric. Exhibited during the Lo-Fi Arts Festival at Smoke Farm in Arlington, the warm glow of the lanterns shone though this grove of maples like a beacon in the night.
