Hyde Park Heroes (Sept., 2015)
Larger than life but less than colossal. The project, an exploration of Hyde Park's Identity through spontaneous, original street photographs of its residents, draws on Street Art vocabularies to explore the neighborhoods Identity. It currently consists of 4 separate large scale pieces: a photo mural of local comic book shop owner Jim Nurss, a large self portrait, a photo wall of seven seemingly ordinary Hyde Park, Chicago residents and a wheat paste mural of 4 additional heroic Hyde Parkers.
