Chalk Shoes to the High Line







Working with Julia Mandle, I fabricated the molds to cast over 120 chalk shoes. These shoes will be used in a performance to highlight the future entrances to the High Line. On April 16th, 30 eighth graders will be wearing the chalk shoes (pictured above) to create a green trail through the streets of Chelsea leading the community to the future park. With her work, Julia Mandle seeks "to create movement that allow audiences to pause and heighten their perception of everyday environments."

An exhibition of the chalk shoes will run from May 15-21 at the Leo Kesting Gallery, 812 Washington Street in the Meatpacking district.
