STREETSCAPE

West Galer Flyover

Artist Vicki Scuri transforms an element of an otherwise utilitarian bridge with the application of a stylized wave pattern to retaining walls, while standard light poles are given artistic elaboration with custom brackets resembling both sails and marine animals. The nautical theme of the flyover acts as a gateway to Magnolia and Interbay and provides references to the nearby waterfront.

The relationship of memories as they are attached to place is the primary focus of this project. Collaborating with the three artists, a whole community has engaged in remembering the history of this place. The act of sharing memories has imbued this artwork with a pluralist view that will allow generations of viewers to share in the collective memory of the West Seattle community.
