WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) – An artist has created a 3-D street scene where stoops and street signs pop into space and buildings peel from the wall, and it’s all on display at a Delaware museum.

Baltimore artist Amanda Burnham’s work, called “Walkshed,” is meant to evoke what it’s like to walk through a city at night. The News Journal reports that Burnham makes use of her knowledge of the city and the small-scale drawings she’s sketched on street corners and in her car.

The work is on display through Feb. 16, 2012 at Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts.

The exhibit is one of a series that will be displayed at the museum in the weeks ahead. The theme is “Super Structures: City, Building, Interior and Object.”
