Foot Soldiers Park - NFT Art 2022
NFT Art - Created with 100% proceeds to Foot Soldiers Park
'You are the most important piece' is an artistic representation of JoAnne Bland's story of where the Bloody Sunday March began. When visitors come to this historic patch of cement she tells the story in the quotes of the art piece. JoAnne gives each visitor a small stone that has chipped off this cement as a symbol of their connection to these leaders and their role in carrying on the movement for social change.
The sculpted wall in the background pays homage the march path from Selma to Montgomery Alabama. The small puzzle piece at the bottom of the Y in You represents this symbol of their connection.
All proceeds for this art will go to the funding effort for Foot Soldiers Park.

Augmented Reality (AR) installation
Notes in Flight is inspired by the musical soul of the city and the dynamic movement of the bats. Drawing on the 1960's history when Eddie united 3 vastly different political groups, the sculpture is organized by three swoops with touches of curvature inspired by BB king's guitar, Lucille.
When looking through the apertures, and through the abstract strings, the physical bats flying through the sky act as the musical notes coming from the instrument. An interactive play of both Augmented reality and real life.
The orange component hanging in midair mimics a bat sleeping while the blue swoosh represents the water of Ladybird Lake.
