2017 Walking Sculpture Tour
5 Cultural Pedestrians
Artist Statement:
Cultural Pedestrians is a series of freestanding concrete and steel pieces that visually represent different cultures of past and present people from our society and others. The pieces are human-sized and, just like us, the whole is made up of parts. Each of us is a multi-faceted compilation of smaller fragments of our thoughts, experiences and aspirations. The parts are not uniform but instead diverse, not derived from a single time nor a single place.
