This LOVework is Fairfax County’s first permanent LOVEwork. Last summer, as part of the state’s celebration of the iconic slogan’s 50th anniversary, Visit Fairfax, the county’s official tourism organization, held a ribbon-cutting for the sign before sending it off on an 11-stop tour of Fairfax County, highlighting the various visitor experiences within the destination.

Artist Marlon Diggs, “Marly McFly,” transformed the Virginia Tourism LOVEworks sign at the end of 2019. He was selected by a jury from an open call for artists to have their work featured on the LOVEworks sign. Using acrylic and spray paint, the transformation took a total of 4 days.

McFly found inspiration in the word “love” and created a collage of facial expressions communicating this term of affection. Through layered and intertwined colorways, graphics and texture, his work represents a melting pot of culture.

He rooted the artwork by acknowledging the LOVEworks sign’s location through the incorporation of brick and archway visual elements, each representative of the Workhouse Arts Center’s history.
