A young giant peeks into our world. What does she see?
Imagine her full form continuing deep into the earth. We inhabit many worlds and the places where they meet. Peekaboo is a crossroads being reminding us to notice where we are, who is there with us, what we’re noticing and if perhaps we can observe something we hadn’t noticed there before, something hiding. Peekaboo.
Why Big Art?
Giant sculptures gather people together. They become places of altered possibility where dream intelligence might restore ordinary interactions with natural magic. I make art to open passageways within us and between us. A playful space, a sculptural stage, an altered context might remind us that we are participants in an ongoing co-creative process where our vivid imaginings, longing hearts and unanswerable questions are welcomed and needed.
We are made and remade by everything around us–by beings as tiny as micro-organisms and forces as vast as the elemental hands that sculpted the mountains. We, ourselves, are organic artwork. I’m devoted to art-making as a process which reflects our artistic nature back to us and dares us to recognize, again, our natural role as co-creators.
