A little more than a year ago, artist and lifelong Jersey City resident Pat Olsen did a diorama in response to a Project Greenville call for art submissions. That diorama featured, opposite a narrow green strip with golden high-rises on top of it, Olsen’s depiction of a barren landscape.
A take on South Greenville, skeletons lay outside a graveyard of things Olsen noted were lost to the area (bus lines, a supermarket, and a bank).
There was also a very small space fenced around a dead tree from which a buzzard overlooked the area. That area was Olsen’s artistic depiction of Martyniak-Enright Park, which sits at the intersection of Pamrapo Avenue and Old Bergen Road.
