Finalist for the Creative Placemaking in the South Loop (SOLO)!

Well, I've been applying for a lot of things lately and haven't had much time to get into the studio lately. Anyway, at least these things have been bearing fruit! I was chosen as one of 15 finalists to submit designs for the South Loop area of Bloomington, MN. This area is home to a number of hotels, residences, high tech businesses, a national nature preserve on the Mississippi River and of course the mall to end all malls..The Mall of America. This is gonna be quite the challenge since we as artists have to find a way to knit all these things together and to create a more 'urban experience' in the middle of the Twin Cities largest suburb.
There's only 4 slots available, so the odds are against me, but I'm gonna give it my best shot and see how I do. Wish me luck!
