Burlington Airport Public Art Concepts
Burlington, VT
I was honored to be selected as a finalist by Burlington City Arts with nine other artists to develop proposals for three public art opportunities at the Burlington Airport. This effort was part of BTV Project NexT, a major expansion and renovation of the Burlington International Airport. This was a exciting opportunity to combine my love of nature photography and pattern as a way to celebrate Vermont.
As an experiential designer, I wanted to consider the entire space holistically and because of that I developed proposals for all three artwork areas instead of selecting one. Each space had its own purpose, and I used pattern design in each of them as a connective thread so they felt cohesive. The artwork included painted tone-on-tone wall patterns along with direct printed wood panels. In addition to the walls, I was also able to budget for concrete floor patterns that connected each of the spaces and helped frame the seating areas.
Thank you to Kyle Wolfe of Green Bee Creative, Kevin Cherashore of MS Sign, and Mark Laning for their assistance in pricing out the scope.
