Art that’s all heart in DUMBO
It started as storm debris and ended up as a Valentine to New York City.
Boardwalk lumber from Long Beach, Sea Girt and Atlantic City — salvaged after Superstorm Sandy – was used to create the 30-foot heart-shaped art installation “Heartwalk,” on view now at the Pearl Street Triangle in DUMBO.
Situ Studio, a DUMBO art studio at 20 Jay Street, was originally commissioned to create the piece for Times Square as the winner of the annual Times Square Valentine Heart Design.
After gathering wreckage from the storm, Situ Studio removed screws and nails, trimmed off splintered chunks, planed the boards and assembled the artwork.
