I am dreaming of six towering barbwire shapes made from mirror-polished stainless steel, placed globally, that will serve as a monument and reminder for human rights and reflect both past and present horrors and injustices. This will be called “Barbed.”I am dreaming of a ten foot mirror-polished stainless steel ball that is internally mechanized and will roll side to side in a museum in eight hour increments to commemorate this country’s anonymous workers who keep our society functioning. This will be called “Eight Hour Shift.”
I am dreaming of a twenty-six foot tall music box that actually functions that will be placed in front of a concert hall and will pay tribute to my favorite living artist and colleague, Claes Oldenburg. This will be called “Music Box.”
I am a dreamer and these are some of my dreams.
My dreams are the seedlings for my reality. My passionate belief that these dreams will materialize is the nourishment and stimulant that energizes my dreams and keeps them live. I safeguard my dreams as my Jewels. Dreams are a part of each of us: unique, individual and possible. Stay passionate about yours; receive their nourishment of spirit and guard them. Guard them as your Jewels.
