PROJECTS

My approach to public art is to consider the physical, cultural and communal context of each individual project. In my regular studio practice I have the control to choose the surface I paint on, the exact dimensions, the lighting etc. In public projects some of that control is removed. The architecture and setting become a set given parameters. I like to think of the limitations and parameters as a prompt to creatively respond to. I keep in mind the surrounding community, the land, the history, the future and the present moment as I do my best to engage local communities, with artwork reflective of the environment they are placed in, creating a sense of place and belonging.
