SHOW ME YOUR HANDS!!!

Palms down


I saw the circle on her finger so I knew where to stop
my thoughts are automatic and never stop
it all became a jigsaw puzzle one piece at a time
one part creation and one part enjoying the time

inspiration takes me further than what reality knows
it stirs deep waters only creation knows
it's a scripted secret that came to life on its own
it's a life where the heart is on loan, not owned

The Flow of Water 2

Big Green Block 

Description: Stormwater management and streetscape
improvements around Shissler Recreation Center.
Partners: Philadelphia Department of Recreation, Fairmount Park,
PHS, NKCDC, PWD and Mural Arts Program
Status: Plans being finalized. Construction to be completed by
PHS and NKCDC components by September 2010.

Shissler Recreation Center continued the path of rooting conservation in Fishtown. Its ball field changed from dirt and cinders to lush green grass. The stormwater streetscapes opened more green space. It inspired the community to add some artful design along Blair Street.
The art, in the form of two murals, represents "Impressions of the Delaware" and the flow of the water. Thousands of tiles were used to create this mural. Some tiles have printed words related to water and the names of known and unknown creeks. It's something to explore and fun for kids to find. 
The painted mural covers the full length of the parking lot wall continuing the flow of water.
Attractive large glass tiles highlight this mural. Let the flow inspire the community.
