Grays Ferry
©2002 Joshua Sarantitis and PDRMAP, (two walls) 20'x40', acrylic
on stucco.
This corner-situated set of murals depicts a mid
1700's artist's interpretation of the first bridge crossing the
Schuykill River in what is the present-day neighborhood of Grays
Ferry, Philadelphia. Reflecting on this idyllic past is a contemporary
girl holding a seedling. She is standing in front of the same location
as the original bridge, but instead of pastoral setting, Philadelphia's
industrial landscape provides the backdrop to a more modern Grays
Ferry crossing.
