Vacant lots. Abandoned houses. Trash – lots of trash. Heidelberg Street was in trouble!
Tyree Guyton loved his childhood home: it's where his grandpa Sam taught him to "paint the world." So he wanted to wake people up, and make them see Detroit's crumbling communities.
Paintbrush in hand, Tyree cast his artistic spell, transforming everyday junk into 'magic trash'. Soon local kids and families joined Tyree in rebuilding their neighbourhood, discovering the healing power of art along the way.
This picture book biography of Tyree Guyton, an urban environmental artist, shows how he transformed his decaying, crime-ridden neighbourhood into the Heidelberg Project, an interactive sculpture park. The story spans from Tyree's childhood in 1950s Detroit to his early efforts to heal his community through art in the 1980s. Tyree's awards include Michigan Artist of the Year and International Artist.
