Brooklyn artist plans to build bridge for a day from Red Hook to Governors Island
Project Inspired by Walt Whitman
A bridge grows in Brooklyn.
That is the dream of Carroll Gardens-based artist Nancy Nowacek, who wants to construct a provisional pedestrian walkway from Red Hook to Governors Island across Buttermilk Channel’s 1,400-foot span.
Nowacek’s vision, which began as an idea four years ago, has developed into a realistic endeavor that she hopes to have completed by August 2017.
