I am a artist, designer
and cultural worker who's work has focused on increasing visual literacy
and building alliances within communities.
One public art project that
demonstrates this is home land geography, which exhibited
at the Kelowna Art Gallery, May of 1996. This community art projects'
focus was to bring to attention the many meanings of "home" and the
relations youths and seniors have to their community.
The exhibition involved the collection of 75 short stories and images
of monuments (places of meaning) from seniors and children in Kelowna.
The stories were mounted in light boxes across the gallery wall. The
exhibition also included an afternoon of story telling by elders who
had participated in the project.
Most recently, I have been a
participant in the Open Studio Project. This project, sponsored by Seattle
Art Museum (in partnership with the Seattle Public Library and West Seattle
High School/ Technology Resource Institute) was a program to train artists
to use the web as a site for new art forms and new approaches to making
and exhibiting art. To visit these projects go to http://drizzle.com/~outloud/
