A Sea Bird by Maria Molteni
About
A Sea Bird is a public mural in Boston Seaport by Maria Molteni, a Fort Point resident, artist and former competitive athlete, created in collaboration with New Craft Artists in Action. Molteni’s artist statement frames the piece around Our Lady of Good Voyage, described as a proud and majestic Sea Bird and Siren. The title has a lighter side too: “Seabird” by the Alessi Brothers happens to be Molteni’s favorite karaoke song.
Molteni combines a love of embodied expression, site-specific installation and inclusive art and athletic cultures to create immersive works. In 2010 they launched the international collective New Craft Artists in Action, which pioneered community-centered basketball court murals, vibrant spaces that encourage a wider spectrum of identities to play. Their other commissions include Gateway to Infinity (An Anti-Monument) for the Greenway Conservancy in Boston and Seven Sisters / Celestial Subduction in downtown San Luis Obispo, California.
