Alice Pasquini in Ithaca, NY

Ithaca, near the geographical center of New York State, is a socially progressive town that has experimented with its own currency (“Ithaca Hours”), was one of the first cities in the US to confer rights to same-sex partners (1986), and is the home of two universities (Cornell University and Ithaca College).  At the southern end of one of the Finger Lakes (Cayuga, 38 miles long), it’s a nice bastion of natural beauty and lack of attitude, and increasingly, is host to international graffiti and Street Artists.

Italian Street Artist Alice Pasquini did a couple of murals 5 hours from NYC last week, and the photographer Jessica Stewart shares them here with BSA readers.

“Alice’s murals in Ithaca were hooked up by Meal from Cap Matches Color. His inventory of old sprays is insane and I had a field day photographing that too,” says Jessica.
