Stuart Keeler

The lack of a dedicated green space in the city puts our mind in a place of want, longing and imagination. We think of the space outside the city, the expanse of green that we imagine beyond the last house, the last suburb and the last of the last. To make a connection back to the green expanse of the imagination, Keeler will create a costume that resembles a local plant to replicate the oasis of the mind. This camouflaged moving green scape will conspire to create a civic monument to activate the urban imagination.

The artist will be dressed from head to toe in fabric. En costume, he will walk the city, and periodically stop to offer green space experiences to create a citizen participation with their local landscape. The plant will also operate as a social catalyst as well as hopefully blend into various places to offer a camouflage oasis. The moving landscape will stop to offer shade to those who need it, as well as always allow others to imagine.
