Brief Description of Residency

What Shapes Our Brooklyn Project

Our Brooklyn is a temporary public art installation created by Brooklyn-based artist Phoebe Lo for the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Celebrating the ways in which Brooklyn communities come together through work, social, and cultural life, the playful and colorful installation spans Flushing Avenue between Clermont Avenue and Carlton Avenue.

Using graphic shapes and icons, Lo’s work is representational and abstracted. The use of acrylic and painted wood creates eye-catching textures while also allowing for the play of light and shadows throughout the day. Lo’s work is soft and surreal and full of symbolism. Motivated by a lifelong dedication to play, she is not bound by one material and works in murals and public art sculptures.
