My perspective is that art represents a collaboration between artist and viewer. The artist brings an idea or vision and endeavors to express it tangibly. In the process, the artist is challenged and changed by the art which transforms into the artwork it is meant to be.
At some point, people come to view the result of the artist’s efforts. But they are not spectators; rather, by interacting with the art, the people enliven it. Whether they seek to understand the piece or interpret it, touch the piece, or pose with it, their presence animates and even completes the artwork.
With this in mind, you are invited to meet the artistic expression before you today. I welcome your participation and look forward to seeing what transpires.
