The Peach Blossom Spring, 2015
The Peach Blossom Spring is a temporary public art project that consists of hundreds of handmade pinwheels mounted along the 1200 block of Pearl Street. In Chinese culture, the pinwheel is a symbol to turn one’s luck around; the more times it spins, the greater the magnitude of fortune. Printed on each of the pinwheels is a hand-drawn pattern, derived from “The Peach Blossom Spring,” a Chinese fable which comments upon ideas of change, possibility, and peace within discord. This project is on public view indefinitely, and block party participants will be welcomed to create their own pinwheels to add to the installation
