Kitthan by Makerjake (2021)

Makerjake is a Massachusetts-based educator and artist well-known for his unique approach to portraiture and animals. In his professional mural practice, Makerjake integrates the iconography of his First Nations ancestors with contemporary design elements. “Kitthan” features the sun, moon, RI state, and a striped bass. Early inhabitants of the area relied heavily on fishing, and, later, the Colonial state of Rhode Island adopted the striped bass as it’s official fish.

The Warren Utility Box Project is a collaboration between The Town of Warren, The Warren Arts & Culture Committee, and The Avenue Concept, a RI-based non-profit that makes public art happen.
