Artist Statement:
My artwork is generally about friendship, communication, and play. Beyond these basic connections, I tend to treat each work as the unique experience that it is.
In this case, I was able to make artwork with and for my friends. At the same time, communication was emphasized in many ways, especially in the multimedia interactions between myself and the exhibition team. Finally, this project gave me just the right mixture of guidance and freedom and thereby allowed my own creativity to thrive.
Thanks to Jennie Kiessling, Kathy Webb, and their entire team for the allowing me to participate in this exciting project.
