In 1995 @UrbanArtWorks was formed to help clean up the busway through Seattle’s SODO, while also providing opportunities to young artists and graff writers. Budding local artists like SNEKE, HEWS, and APAUL reportedly rode through this corridor for years and like so many others were inspired by what they saw. Two decades later, with now more than 50,000 people a day riding through @SODOtrack, Portland’s @Gage_Gage_Gage is curating a new set of 60 commissions lining the public transit corridor. “Equilateral Momentum” was designed to connect past and present, with DVS crew members SNEKE, HEWS, and APAUL creating “burners” that hearken back to the history of the track, set against Blaine Fontana’s triangles representing the transition of energy along the busway, and swimming koi weaving all the elements together and offering a “symbol of maturity, evolution, and momentum.”  @blainefontana  @snekeism
