Hatch Art Hamtramck, Mi
This past school year has been an incredible ride. I have observed how persistent work in building vulnerable trust with colleagues, families, and students has contributed immensely to fostering our student-centered culture. I am extremely grateful for these collaborative opportunities. Although this school year is coming to a close, the work doesn't end. I look forward to extending my constructive creative forces out into the greater community.
This summer I will be collaborating with Chris Schneider to build "Anonymous", a public interactive sculpture; part sculpture, part social experiment that will be installed at Vandenburg Center, in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids during ArtPrize Nine. “We wanted to find a way to communicate with people so that you could be somewhat anonymous but also present, the person you’re talking to is there,” said Schneider. “Ultimately we’re looking at what ArtPrize does successfully -- making it accessible to the public, inviting everyone to come in and participate -- and building on that.”
It is an honor to be selected as the Pitch Night Detroit winners and to represent Detroit at ArtPrize. On behalf of Chris Schneider and myself, I would like to thank you all for your support.
