Image Statement: “KnoW Safe Place” is an installation composed of 3 two-dimensional components that create a three-dimensional architectural space which can be entered and thus experienced from both within and without. In a time of fraught change, conflict and uncertainty, the work speaks to the challenge of finding any safe place to be, while simultaneously providing this to the viewer-participant. Creating such a place out of textiles, paint and wood expresses the power and dignity of our own making processes and imagination.
