Artist statement:
The Potato Heads is a whimsical art installation that brings the trees along Mackenzie Avenue to life. Faces, designed in collaboration with local teens, are hung from the trees, transforming them into giant, playful Mr. Potato Heads. Each tree is given its own unique personality, creating a delightful and engaging experience for passersby. This collaborative effort not only highlights the creativity of the community’s youth but also brings a sense of fun and wonder to the urban landscape. The installation is a celebration of imagination and the joy of bringing everyday objects to life in unexpected ways.
26 faces of was our final count!
