In my work on public art projects; I have discovered to my delight that the project becomes bigger, more meaningful, than the piece itself.  Just as mosaics comprise countless small, colorful, diverse pieces coming together to form the whole, the members of the community become elements in the mix as their ideas and excitement infuse it with a life of its own.  It is gratifying to work in collaboration with the people who will then live with the project knowing that they have participated in the creation of a landmark to their collective spirit.   home
