What does a #BioQuilts installation look like while quilts still growing? It highlights materials & process through mold forms & time lapse video. A few pieces in works that repurpose materials use to grow quilt squares.
Looking forward to @SJMQT artist residency installation

Public art holds tremendous value to a community. It can increase community pride and belonging, which San José desperately needs. Attend the @grpg forum and take part in building that pride.
Join the @grpg Guadalupe River Park Conservancy and @powwowsanjose this Thursday for a Community Engagement Forum to discuss a new Artist-in-Residency (AIR) program and to provide input for PWSJ's first activation!
