This art in the park piece is titled, “Public Prayer Booth.” The work was created by Kansas City based artist Dylan Mortimer. This is a great ‘in-your-face’ reminder for those of us who have been forgetting to say our nightly prayers. The unique booth allows sinners to kneel down and repent in the great outdoors.  My goal is to spark dialogue about a topic often avoided, and often treated cynically by the contemporary art world,” says Mortimer. “I employ the visual language of signage and public information systems, using them as a contemporary form of older religious communication systems: stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, church furniture, etc. I balance humor and seriousness, sarcasm and sincerity, in a way that bridges a subject matter that is often presented as heavy or difficult.
