Leslie, the owner of Frankenart Mart gallery at 515 Balboa, recently debuted the 38 Geary bus sculpture that she built for Supervisor Eric Mar.
Not only does the piece pay homage to one of our most beloved and maligned bus lines, it’s even made from neighborhood materials: “Ocean beach sand, Golden Gate park parts, and Richmond haunts”.
The bus looks like the real thing! Colorful billboards on the site, square vents along the top, twigs that make up the accordion mid-section.
All that’s missing are people boarding through the back without paying and a legion of cars stuck behind it as often happens on Geary. 😉
Bravo to Leslie for a great sculpture! It’s bound to be the talk of City Hall when it makes its way down there. All aboard!
See more photos of the 38 Muni masterpiece here or stop by the gallery to see it in person on Thursday or Friday from 4pm to 9pm, or Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 8pm.
