Traffic Control Box

Krista Hill

"I ended up designing from the inspiration I got at the meeting with the students from Galveston Elementary. I've been dealing with art for kids for a while now and they almost always request a dog and a cat. Since these aren't really 'natural to the environment' animals I thought it would be nice to put them into the context of the neighborhood. I also got a sense from the culmination of information that possibly this neighborhood feels a bit like outsiders, so I wanted to make art that makes them feel like a part of Chandler. I incorporated the neighborhood name "Galveston" on the side and "Chandler, Arizona" on top to represent a continuation of unity. I drove around the neighborhood a bit and it looks like a lot of colorful homes are here so I tried to tie in that element as well."
