BRANDON BAILEY ART

The Charles Bergen Studios-led team -- Mara Cherkasky (Historian), Brandon Bailey (Artist), and Chris Earley (Civil Engineer) – was commissioned by Washington D.C.  Public Schools to create an artwork for the 590 foot long Perimeter Fence Artwork for the River Terrace Special Education Center. A series of 30-inch diameter painted steel medallions connected with intertwined four-inch metal "waves" make up the artwork and tell the history of the River Terrace Community from 10,000 years ago to the present.  

​

In recognition of its community significance, the District of Columbia Commission on the Arts and Humanities Washingtonian Collection purchased a three quarter size recreation of the medallions. 

​

They will be housed in various public buildings in the District of Columbia under the Commission’s Public Art Program.

​

MEDIA:  Water Jet Cut and Painted Metal
