COMMUNITY ARTREACH +
VASHON HIGH SCHOOL

During 2018–19 school year, I was selected as CAM’s Artist in Residency. I collaborated with Vashon High School students and helped them explore the nature of their material school environment and how it has changed over time. With my guidance, a sculptural installation from old and discarded school furniture and supplies was created. This assemblage is a montage moving from antiques to obsolete technology. SCHOOL SPIRITS documents the evolution of the classroom environment from yesteryear to present day. Utilizing found objects in my installations is my speciality; Morphing quotidian objects into new creations -like old handwriting practices into soaring paper airplanes- are one of the many surprises you will find in this installation art piece. I enjoy partnering with schools & communities to create unique installation art pieces. Guiding students & community members to create large scale, assemblage art is a passion of mine.
