BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Street Artist Gaia worked two nights this week atop a ladder on a new double-headed Starling; a mutant foreshadowing of future Spring, under the darkened light of the Williamsburg Bridge.
Painting among and around the simple strings of outdoor lights gave the night-time a carnival like, magic-infused feeling. The sound of rumbling trains overhead quickened the heartbeat, the metallic serpents in the sky somewhat ominous.

“The patterns created by the line works confluence in the center establishes a new image born of the twins. There is a certain mystical quality to the double, the symmetrical and the Gemini. The corresponding likeness in a pair has always carried a certain sense of intrigue and mystery,” says Gaia
