Community Project

This project seeks to highlight and reinforce the tradition of using visual and written language as a
foundation through which to express progressive political movements. The project involves encouraging
the staff and students of the Escuela Normal in Rio Grande to explore how they might best express the
past, present and future of the institution using simple language and imagery. These conversations will
then serve as the primary material through which a sculpture or work will then be developed by myself.
