Jacksonvillet Skyway Columns, Andrew Reid SHEd
Late in 2017 I had a long stay in Jacksonville with a heavy work load and use to take some breaks during the day and walk around the are of the office on Bay Street. These columns of the JAX SkyWAy were a breath of fresh air within the chaotic downtown traffic. The paintings wrap around the cylinder columns offering an opportunity to experience them as you walked from different angles. I caught myself stopping and walking around a column to engage with the overall canvas. Eventually I decided to document it along Bay Street and Hogan Street. Here are the results.
“Eight JTA Skyway column murals address and engage the Jacksonville community. Each mural, designed with local input, illustrates points about Jacksonville such as notable figures, heritage, walk ability, architecture, downtown revitalization, transition, civic pride and the influence of its waterways.”
