My proposal "Pop Art Recycled" was chosen for the
Chapel Hill Public Arts Commmision's Artist@Work artist in residency project for fall 2006.
In this project I worked with around 100 third and fourth grade students from
Seawell Elementary school.
Each student employed chasing and repousse techniques to transform a metal panel,
recycled from an aluminum soda (pop) can, into a relief sculpture.
The panels illustrate concepts in environmental stewardship and nature.
The final collaborative piece of art is a patchwork quilt of these student panels,
panels with the signatures of the student artists,
and plastic panels made from recycled milk containers.

The work will have a permanent home in the school's cafeteria after exhibition in the community.
