Public Art
Summer-Winter 2018
At the UrbanArt Commission in Memphis, TN, I tracked and assessed the Movable Public Art Collection, consisting of over 70 pieces made by local artists.
Once a vibrant and annual project, the Movable Collection had long been put on hold due to management changes.
My efforts not only find the works, but to create detailed condition reports and documentation led to a project revamp in 2019.

My difficult but enormously rewarding "scavenger hunt" led me to many Memphis landmarks, including the University of Memphis, Shelby Farms, City Hall, and even the Memphis International Airport.
I learned to appreciate the art that surrounds us, which adds color and community to everyday life.
