Monument Series
I have been using current events in my Monument series to honor the environment and victims of tragedies. I gather images, articles, visit sites, take photos and keep it all in my journal. Each work prompts the viewer to make historical or contextual associations-to think about what it means to encounter this story at this moment.
How are people remembered, forgotten, or altered over time?
The power of the art of public engagement is it makes us see things we don’t want to.
The viewer must take the time to discover the meaning.
More of this series can be seen in the Artist Books Gallery.
