Wiggle Walls is an abstract mural that encompasses two existing low walls as well as the adjacent ground level paving space around them for a unique community: preschoolers. Wiggle Walls defines and enhances the entrance to the Rogers Park Community Center Preschool Program through the creation of this colorful visual and experiential hardscape play area.
Wiggle Walls unites visual art and urban planning for the community of toddlers, their parents and teachers. Mercier revitalized the outdoor play space referencing Pathways to Success, a 2015 three dimensional mural co-designed by Mercier, artist Adwin David Brown and area teens.
Directly commissioned for this project Mercier reinterpreted the forms and colors of Pathways for a unique audience. In addition to referencing the adjacent art, Mercier sensitively incorporated existing Preschool signage painted, with permission, by an un-credited graffiti artist.
