Garden City Statement

  Home  

The Garden City expands upon the Big City installation with sculpture suitable for outdoor installation.

Traditionally, cities are monuments to civilizations and towers are symbols of our desire to touch the heavens.

The Big City installation presents my idea of a utopian city of the future. Tower sculptures are made with recycled materials and brightly painted to expressing a vision of hope for a future where creativity is valued. For example; at the Institute of Understanding there could exist an ongoing forum for new ideas and theories; at the World Council, disputes might be settled on a planetary level for the good of all concerned; and the Cultural History Building could house the archives of all cultures on earth.

My wish is that walking through the Big City and using the supporting element, each viewer will reexamine his or her world consciousness.

In addition to the tower installation the interactive components include a wheel of fortune, a card game, and workbooks to reinforce and support a viewer's experience. Videos are also available to complement the installation.
