Curated by Vision Gallery; I was given the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with 3 art students from Hamilton High School. The assignment was to create a design for a traffic control box in the city of Chandler. I am grateful to have been chosen to be part of this public art project.
The topic was what we wanted to see differently in our community:
There are many things I would like to see differently in our community, but the one thing that I’ve always been passionate about is preserving our nature. It saddens me to see how much construction has disrupted our desert landscapes and endangered our wildlife. I was born and raised here in Arizona so I can see how things have changed so drastically over the years. Everywhere I turn I feel I am seeing a new mall or overpriced apartment complex being built. The design I created for this traffic control box is a reminder to appreciate the details that our beautiful desert has to offer and not destroy it with this increasing construction.
