The front lawn of the Saline District Library has become the canvas for pairs of one-of-a-kind legs and feet, interactive blocks and colorful weavings.

The temporary art display is the work of Jennifer Lickers and Rob Kinsey, a pair of Two Twelve Art Center artists, who are living a dream of planning and displaying their first community art installation.

“I like the use of the colors,” said Heidi Barlow, a student at College for Creative Studies in Detroit, who was viewing the public art recently.

The idea began last year and blossomed this summer into "You Are Here,” a public art display of work from the two organizers, 212’s Art on the Go program, artists from the Fifth Corner and Creative Marks, a teen art troop comprised of several AP art students from Saline High School “who helped problem solve, create and install the display,” Lickers said.

Shaina Kasztelan of Detroit, who was also in the city viewing the display, said, “I like the transparency of the material and the way the light plays through it.”

The installation was completed Aug. 12 and will remain on the lawn until Labor Day weekend.

The organizers incorporated the library’s summer reading theme that revolved around travel, discovery and exploring, and Kinsey, who taught Art on the Go, a youth art program, had each student create a pair of legs and feet, using their own limbs as the mold.

The colorful weaving signifies “one world, many stories and loosely symbolizes that we’re all weaved together,” Lickers said.

“Installation art is defined as art that is created for a specific site, often incorporating materials or physical features of the site,” Kinsey said.

It was constructed from reused previous art installation materials, including bamboo from 2009 and sailcloth from the 2010 windsocks, nine blocks and 30 pairs of feet, Kinsey said.

“The Saline District Library is the perfect place for community art projects,” said Library Director Leslee Neithammer. “We are an important gathering place and having art at the library is a part of what we do. Outdoor art that one can walk around and touch is fun for everyone, and it is a good way to introduce art to young people. “

Kinsey and Lickers hope the installation will be the first of an annual display at the library. “It’s important to the community and to the young artists,” Kinsey said.
