alleywave Process
Alleywave: Canopy of Colors weaves together visual reflections from Fairburn students, organization members, and club participants in local organizations, collected during creative workshops led and designed by artist and graphic designer Lewis H. Foster. Each reflection was translated into a unique satin panel within the installation and accented by projected light, collectively forming a collaborative and colorful canopy displaying the inspirations and intentions of the Fairburn community.
Special thanks to Landmark Christian School, Girl Scout Troop 3802, South Fulton Studios, Southside Theater Guild, City Of Fairburn, National Black Arts Foundation, and Sylvan Hills Middle School for participating in the installation.
