Robeson Creek Greenway Creative Placemaking Project

visual artwork & participatory audio art

currently in process, anticipated launch on May 2, 2026

Felix Obelix: artwork, music, production 

Collaborators: anonymous callers, Pittsboro Parks and Recreation

Commissioned by: Chatham Arts Council, with support from Chatham County


Participate in the Audio Art

  

What does being in nature do for you? How does it make you feel?


If you've been down the Robeson Creek Greenway, what has been your experience of the greenway? How does it make you feel?


I invite Chatham County (NC) residents to anonymously record their responses to any or all of these questions. I will excerpt your voice responses and incorporate them into a site-specific, public audio art piece as part of the Chatham Arts Council's creative placemaking program. 


There are two ways to participate:


Call ‪(984) 377-3477‬ and leave an anonymous voicemail. 

or

Record a voice memo on your phone and text it anonymously to (919) 641-9367.


You don’t need any special knowledge or “perfect” words—just your honest voice. 


  DEADLINE: I'll be collecting your voice responses through March 14, 2026!


Thank you in advance to all who participate!


The project is slated to premiere on May 2, 2026. 

If you participate, I'll text you an invite to the launch event! 


(Note that by sending a recording, you’re giving permission for your voice to be edited into short excerpts and included in this public, non-commercial audio artwork.)

About

  

This project, commissioned by the Chatham Arts Council, with support from Chatham County and in collaboration with Pittsboro Parks and Recreation, comprises a site-specific, participatory audio piece and 2D artwork I’m creating specifically for the Robeson Creek Greenway in Pittsboro, North Carolina. I'm exploring the experience of being in nature, especially nature integrated into the urban environment.


The participatory audio piece will incorporate short, anonymous voice recordings I solicit from Chatham County residents, as well as field sounds from the greenway and original music. I will also create a 2D visual artwork, in which I translate data about the natural environment into abstract collage, to be installed as public art at the greenway’s entrance. 


The project will culminate in a public viewing and listening event on May 2, 2026. 

The Visual Art

In addition to the audio piece, I'm also creating a visual artwork, in which I will experiment with translating data into abstract collage. My hope is that data can be made more beautiful, understandable, and useable if presented as an aesthetic experience. 

This artwork, as well as the audio piece, will be premiered at the launch event on May 2, 2026. 

More details TBA! 

Thank You
