This month, a bird-inspired sculptural workbench will mark an imagined portal along the waterfront at LoPresti Park in East Boston.
Amulet is a three-phased project exploring the intersection of materiality and community. Earlier this spring, Vedro launched a series of workshops with community partner, Veronica Robles Cultural Center, and other East Boston stakeholders. Participants were asked to focus on a positive intention and then use a hammer to pound “wishmarks” into steel panels.
Vedro’s Amulet is now coming to the East Boston waterfront as a sculptural workbench constructed from wood, concrete, steel, copper, and hammers. All are invited to stand at an imagined portal where land meets sea and hammer their wishes into a metal panel on top of the bench.
