Art in the Public Interest
My work circles around an axis of interactions. Most projects include a development phase during which I meet with community participants. Gathering the words of their experience and sometimes the work of their hands, I accept these offerings as inspiration that enriches the finished work. The finished projects are visible public artworks: some permanent, some ephemeral. But I have found that the experience of the particpants sustains them -- and me -- beyond the extent of the actual exhibition.
