Shift (2022)
This is the public statement about this newly installed sculpture, minutes from my house:
"Shift is a work of public art that speaks to our changing attitudes towards the environment, the social and political landscape, and the economy. The sculpture, depicting a fractured world, serves as a call for unity and collective care. Through its use of sustainable materials and simple, powerful forms, encourages reflection on transformation and resilience. Its dynamic, inclusive design invites viewers to consider how collaboration across communities and sectors can shape a more connected future."
My interpretation: In lieu of current our political environment, my first take on this was: The world is so crazy right now, I do not want to see a steel spear cutting our planet in half. Do I need to be reminded of the insanity when seeking an escape to Whole Foods?
Okay, I'll try very hard to turn this around and see the broken world coming together.
Can't we all just get along?
Is there anything more precious that attending school taught by your 6 year old granddaughter? Especially one who has a clear vision of the curriculum.
