Double Delight and Much More in Mural Art by Jessie and Katey at Kendall Center, Cambridge

**LEFT-HAND ENTRY MURAL Kendall Center**

Silly to keep waiting for all construction in Kendall Plaza to stop obstructing parts of Jessie and Katey’s brilliant designs on two main entries there. September 2021 was the celebration of completion; but after four visits since then, I am deeply impressed with the vitality they add to often disrupted surroundings.

Also, I should at least share links to their always exciting wide-ranging website and to other key resources about their art. So here are my photos with pathways to more compelling views.

“Artist-duo Jessie and Katey spent two weeks hand painting these two 27-foot murals. Their mission is to transform public spaces into vibrant, playful experiences, using their tell-tale geometric style to engage with the history, architecture, and culture of a city.” ( quote from KENDALL CENTER, Jessie and Katey )

“Jessie Unterhalter and Katey Truhn make up the Baltimore-based artist team better known as Jessie and Katey. Our mission is to transform public spaces into vibrant, playful experiences, and use a highly geometric, abstract language to engage with the history, architecture and culture of a place.” ( quote from Jessie and Katey website bio)

“We believe that the aesthetics of one’s environments can influence their emotions and state of mind. With a passion for people and design, we bring life to unsung spaces through abstract painting.”( quote from Jessie and Katey website bio)

“Since 2011, we have been consistently creating large-scale, public murals and installations across the country, learning the intricacies of the places we work. We see the responsibility of working with, listening to and reflecting the communities and public that we serve as the driving force in our murals and public installations”. ( quote from Jessie and Katey website bio)

“Commissioned by Boston Properties and curated by Selbert Perkins these whimsical 3-dimensional murals can be found in Kendall Plaza in Cambridge.” ( quote from KENDALL CENTER, Jessie and Katey )
