Locust Projects is pleased to announce a new public art project by New York-based artist Anya Kielar. Yellow Lines, a “sprayogram” resembling a ghostly clothesline displaying dismembered apparel, will be featured on over 30 bus shelters around Miami Beach and the Design District in April and May 2012.

Kielar’s work draws upon sources including set design, surrealist collage, post-minimalist sculpture, and decorative arts, while joining varied objects and textures. In Yellow Lines, rows of lace gloves, jewelry, stockings, hair weaves and silhouettes rendered in black, white and yellow create a whimsical, theatrical environment.
