This project was an important step in my development. Not only was I collaborating with my mentor and friend, Don Ziebell, but the latitude that he gave me to make the project my own was a great gift. Also, importantly, I got to know my amazing clients, Jeff and Gerri, who were sensitive, creative, and eager to integrate artworks into the fabric of the building itself. I learned so much from them during this process. It was an absolutely once in a lifetime opportunity and to everyone’s credit, I think we nailed it.
The project was published in Lux. The author of the piece did a great job writing about the project. Please check it out.
