![]() Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on? Now for the next goal, and that is to break the $100,000.00 commission threshold. I had a two-year goal and it took me 4 years to achieve, but without the intent, it would have never happened. One of the goals I had was to create 12 sculptures that I could rotate around Colorado to act as my billboards of what is possible in a community. I’m a great list maker and review and amend my to-do list daily as well as create long-term goals that I take steps to achieve that goal. Think Pompeii abstracted, with the vivid colors of today, durable, timeless and joyful. I make sure that my materials last a lifetime with only a wash of water-based sealant yearly to protect the grout from freeze-thaw cycles. Conversations with coleman crack#Secondly communicating to the selection committees that I have solved the Colorado freeze/thaw cycle for mosaics and that my formula is crack resistant and the tesserae stays put. With the pandemic we have seen double the amount of artists entering public art calls, so even more I need to tell myself that it is a numbers game and to celebrate any placement or commission that comes along. One of the greatest challenges is to connect with the juries that select public art. Grand Junction, Alamosa, Fort Collins, Aurora, Avon, and Lafayette are a few of the locations where you can see sculptures from myself and other Colorado sculptors.Īlright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome? I place quite a few of my sculptures in the rental programs that are part of the culture of mid to small size towns. Public engagement has always been part of my art practice and helps form the connection to community that is so important to creating a unique sense of place at each of my installations. Often featured in my glass are fire, water, wind, and air, in abstracted forms. Looking into the sky for inspiration and looking down into a tide pool for unique forms all come into play when working in stained-glass installations. My work is rooted in nature and all of the biodiversity of our planet and those imagined beyond our own. Conversations with coleman install#Through my art I hope to help lift the spirits and give each public art project that I install mesmerizing visual elements for the public to enjoy.
