One of the more enjoyable experiences of this visit was the
opportunity to spend time with a group of kids from a local after school
program (and surprisingly so, to be quite truthful – I’m not a HUGE kid person,
but this group was amazing). We drove up
to the tippy top of the construction site to get a view and see the progress on
the runway, and stopped in one of the terminals to see an in-progress terrazzo
floor piece. I got a chance to talk with
them about my participation as artist-in-residence and they were so
enthusiastic I wound up giving prints to anyone who wanted them – which was
everyone, and they had a hard time making choices, and I couldn’t say no, so,
like I said earlier, most of my work proofs printed during the community studio
hours went right back into the community.
It seemed entirely appropriate.
