More Public Art

Here is my mobile The Word Engine hanging in the Tompkins County Public Library's exhibit 1864 to 2060: Your Library Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, celebrating ten years at their Green Street location. It's on display through the end of the year. In this photo, you can also see artwork by Jane Dennis (left) and Susan Watkins (right).



I truly value these opportunities to create public art because, unlike in a store or gallery, the price tag becomes secondary, and the work of art is more of a gift. As a result, there's a more direct connection with viewers that I find very gratifying.

Thanks! My goal is to design a mobile made up of computer screens, each one controlled separately so different people can choose what appears on each one.

Cool new profile pic, BTW.
