Facebook ( yes  you can find me there) gently reminded me this morning that it’s 4 years since I installed UP at the University of Washington.Four years seems so short a period of time but the motivation for this piece is really stronger than ever.Children all over the world face abuse,the plight of  being refugees  and hunger.These are the facts of our small planet.

I always hoped ,and still do,that participatory learning and exploring of the articles to make a physical piece of art would help groups explore how they could meet the articles in the rights convention.It’s not new news but is something we all take to any setting where we find ourselves interacting with children.

I also like to re purpose fabrics during construction adding another layer to the piece.The eye’s are a special skill which I’m always happy to share.
