   This summer, a team of two artists will depart from Providence, Rhode Island on our bicycles. The continental United States will be our canvas and the route we travel be our "mark", with which we will draw our Shape of Kindness.

   Determining our route will be the hospitals and healthcare facilities that choose to host Tape Art. Briefly stated, using special Drawing Tape we collaboratively create murals which are spontaniously drawn to suit the spaces they inhabit. On your walls these works are temporary, and disappear without a trace. However, on the hearts of those for whom the hospital is a home, Tape Art can provide a positive, lasting impression.

   We envision spending three days at each host hospital, where our role will be shaped through conversations had with individual administrators, staff, and when possible, patients and their families. The Tape Art team is flexible: we have experience working in both large, well-trafficked areas and smaller, more intimate spaces, including individual patient's rooms.

   For the last 10 years Tape Art has been utilized inside hospitals as an art form for healing. With an imbued emphasis on play and process, these spontaneous, temporary works have found a natural fit in the healthcare environment.

   Our hospital destinations will be united through cycling. The additional challenges this will pose are simply something we seek.

   This project is guided by the central question, What Shape is Kindness? As we discover for ourselves what one possibility may be, we aim to function as catalysts for thought regarding kindness and its countess forms.
