Tacoma Story Hive

On the corner of 7th and N Ainsworth in Tacoma, Washington, USA, Turtle Island  

This project began as a chat between neighbors across the fence in Pandemic spring of 2021.  We organized ourselves into a brainstorming and collaborative team the summer of 2021, building our story hive in stages, having tons of fun and getting to know each other along the way.  The last layer of color on the hive was completed in August 2022. We celebrated with a group chalk drawing (a temporary street mandala) in the center of the intersection to slow down traffic and create more positive energy in the neighborhood. 

Decisions about about our creative process and about our material execution of the project were made consensually. It was a very harmonious collaboration.
