Lindsey Frances Jones’s public sculpture, City in Shapes, City in Fish, is now on view in Riverside Park as part of the Works in Public fellowship at the Art Students League of New York (@aslnyc).

The work invites viewers into Jones’s visual language through a cityscape of shape and color. Inspired by the craft and community of printmaking, it incorporates six fish contributed by fellow printmakers and artists Laurissa Widrick, Felix Bladbjerg, Kait Waldman, Stan Overstreet, Barbara Ganmen, and Scarlett Patino.

This sculpture is a love story about finding your voice and the importance of community in that process. It is dedicated to Jones’s mother, Laurene Jones (1954–2025), the artist who inspired her to become an artist and first taught her to see the world in shapes.

Want to be part of the sculpture’s community and future? The Print a Fish Project invites people to make and share their own fish prints as part of this growing community artwork. Printmaking offers a way to find your voice, connect with others, and discover what we can make together. Learn more and find out how to participate: https://www.printafishproject.com/
