Prime Commonality: Reading, PA
Owens and Crawley create work with the intention of activating a space and relating to the inhabitants of the community. The Prime Commonality sculptures are conceptually based on scientific the deep similarities between humans and chimpanzees. The banding stripes are a visual interpretation of dyed chromosomal banding patterns. Chimpanzees, specifically, have just under 98% shared DNA with humans. These sculptures are a beacon, meant to be a reminder, that we all share an incredible amount in common and that our differences are much more minuscule than we often see them to be.
These sculptures are a perfect compliment to the downtown revitalization in Reading, Pennsylvania. As people unite, communities grow through solidarity. Light is often a metaphor for hope, and the sculptures brings that hope to all citizens of Reading. Prime Commonality: Reading has been designed to be visually impactful to serve as a wayfaring point in a centralized location. Through bold color, impressive scale and multiple works, this installation truly generates a setting that invites creative placemaking.
