These projects are dedicated to creating new space--and place-- for dialogue –as well as public presence for my former students and other artists and trades and craftspeople I collaborate with. Much of the work featured involves a consideration of hierarchies, and bottom line, progress driven development played out in one’s physical and social environment.--where some sort of inroad or rethinking is then sought. For the past few years, most of my energies have been devoted to a collective of artists and building tradespeople (some of whom identify as artists) http://www.theworkersartcoalition.com//  who work on public art and movement building projects attempting to utilize the wisdom of what it might mean to put worker traditions first.
