Over the last decade, I have learned through my interactive art exhibits, as thousands of ArtPrize visitors have responded, that art facilitates healing. Interactive art also serves as a catalyst for individuals to express their stories. Both adults and children alike are very eager to share.
Over the last decade, with each sacred story, the artwork transforms. Like a cluster of butterfly cocoons opening simultaneously—each story adds healing to the collage of hope—ready for flight. Teachers often will mention that their students, after viewing dozens of ArtPrize exhibits all day long, will end up talking about my work when they return to school; the interactive nature of the work leaves an impression. Students end up remembering the interactive experience and talk about how it impacted them.
What kind of art has an impact on you?
