Crochet Art in Harlem

This is kind of, sort of a post for NeedleworkMonday hosted by @crosheille

Why Kind of, sort off?i

Well I am sure the idea behind this tag is for people to post needlework that they have done, but this was some crochet art I came across when walking through Harlem one morning so decided it may be my one chance to enter this tag/challenge

Its quite a big piece of crocheted art on the fence around a park

The funny thing is I saw this mentioned on the NYC arts in the park website and decided to go check it out but I for some reason thought it was at a totally different location and walked about 20 blocks from the train station to where I thought it was and could not find it, when I checked again I realized it was only about 3 blocks from the train station so I went and got these shots the next day.

This art work is by Naomi Lawrence, and is entitled La Flor De Mi Madreand and the park is called Eugene McCabe Field,

Now this last shot is on another corner of the fence in the same area and is not needlework but I thought I would include it with this post, its a bit hard to read from this shot but it says Eat Me which is the title of the piece and is by Capucine Bourcart,
It is made up of photo-printed aluminum square tiles and is to inspire people to make healthy food choices
