Access to the space and artwork would focus on the edges of the space and be discouraged within the site. pictures of artwork and signage are possible largely from areas near or on existing sidewalks.

Access pathways to designated seating areas are provided with stones for seating and framing pictures. Design aims to reduce access near busiest parts of Ocean Street Gateway.

# data[].attributes.body
A handful of select art pieces are made available for access and pictures near existing walkways, while the site design largely restricts access to most pieces through durable surface stonework, plantings, and/or fencing.

# data[].attributes.body
No interior site access is provided. In this case the artwork (large archway) is clearly visible from some distance and pictures are largely desire to capture it in its entirety from afar. Visibility is best achieved by car, from existing paths, or crosswalks.

Through partnership with Santa Cruz based startup - Swellcycle, Mary Tartaro's Recycledelic mushrooms could be crafted of recycled 3D printed filaments, and lit from within. This alternative fabrication method could yield greater control and durability of materials. It also enables more vivid lighting displays, while showcasing local innovation.
