Art/Sign (2004- )

Art's power arises from the capacity of our imagination to explore possibilities and develop concepts free from the constraints of logic. Art germinates in the cracks of our social construct, growing heuristically through chance and discovery, unpredictably taking root in the friction and debris of daily lives. It opens and punches holes in the status quo, allowing us the opportunity to see beyond prescribed limits. Ultimately, the collective force of Art is informed by and molds the human community, creating identity and a sense of place for each genteration.

The Art/Sign Project is an intervention, or sculptural installation using a dead-end street sign design on site, or as sculptural elements, to offer a dialogue on the power of art in our society.

“We need art in order not to allow this world to become a house without an outside.” −Karsten Harries, 2009
