My art is site specific placements that reveal the specialness of place. The subject of this quality may be derived from cultural, historic, mythic or natural aspects latent within the site.
For Collaborative Concepts Art Project at Saunders' Farm I have created a placement, COW LICKS, honoring the herd of 40 Black Angus steer.
