Origins of the Project
The origins of the artwork in this project combines years of collecting materials for the bar code project and the initiative instigated by my involvement in the RIMS California Arts Project Institute which demands of its arts educators that we "do art." The concept is that how can a teacher teach art if they don't also participate in the very processes that we require of our students.
Because I'm retired now, I simply kept on working on my projects until I accumulated a full body of work that deserves to be shared with my colleagues and friends.
