Wire artists creates Health Holly piece

Monday morning, residents and commuters near Baltimore City Hall witnessed an impromptu, satirical art display of a roughly 5-foot long wire homage to Healthy Holly hanging from overhead lines along Fayette Street. The piece was an installation created and adorned to the power line by local street artists Reed BMore, who has been making such wire entities for roughly five years now. He said his artwork doesn’t normally trend so clearly political, but the spiraling story of the “Healthy Holly” controversy and how it reflects government malfeasance, corrupt leadership, and the city’s inability to work at longstanding problems struck a chord in him. “With a lot of my subject matter, I try to do a lot of positivity and evoking nostalgia,” Reed BMore said, “so I guess it was kind of easy prey, may even seem tongue-and-cheek, for me to basically steal her story book character and hang it in front of City Hall, where you would expect work to get done about these things.”
