Shara Hughes: Carving out Fresh Options
Carving out Fresh Options, a large-scale mural by acclaimed painter Shara Hughes on the Greenway Wall in downtown Boston. The project marks the sixth temporary installation to activate Boston鈥檚 Dewey Square Park, located across from South Station.
This imaginary landscape plunges viewers into boldly colored, hallucinatory spaces. Sweeping trails of paint frame views of a dramatic waterfall, carved rock formations, and a winding river. Hughes uses varied painting techniques, including staining and airbrush, to create ecstatic interpretations of the natural world. She hopes that viewers realize these scenes are purely fictional terrains once they try to piece together the different ecologies, land formations, and unnatural color combinations.
