Community Compass

This project was made possible through the 4c’s Foundation. They promote the concept that time spent creating together fosters lasting connections between the children and the community members. I collaborated with three other local artists: Heather Wilkinson, Jyelle Vogel, and William Robinson. Together we facilitated imagining and fabrication of sculptural waste containers to promote the revitalization of the St. Joseph A McKay  elementary school ground as a vibrant community space. Culminating in two large outdoor communityforms in the spring of 2012. The project was also facilitated by the Ecology Action Center and its volunteers, who helped us create unusual characters surrounding trashcans to encourage their use, and also a “Spirit Wheel” powered by children’s exuberance!
