“All meaningful, organic, and foundational learning is at heart playful and ludic. ”
Marcelo Suárez-Orozco, Contemporary American professor of education
PLAY is a collection of work generated from exploration within an artist’s practice, and the embracing of a spirit of playfulness. Each piece expresses a sense of vibrancy, whimsy, and humor, whether as literal tools for play or through experimental concept and process. It is through PLAY that we learn to reimagine our sense of self, and challenge those around us to push beyond constraints of “reality” and “possibility”.
