You & Me: Meet Me In The City

Linocuts on wood panel

(Located near Rollins Theater)
Urban high-rise apartment buildings, with all their windows and residents, have always caused me to wonder as to who lives there, and what goes on behind all those closed doors. This piece represents the grid-like appearance of these buildings, and the individual linocut prints personify the different relationships and experiences between the people behind those windows: couples having intimate moments, people having a party, two people getting to know each other, families living together, friendships growing, and the positive energy that can occur between two people.

Behind the Scenes!
Getting Ready!!
My dad, Dave, and I drove a U-Haul over to Createscape Coworking to pick up "You & Me: Meet Me In The City"! I needed to take the piece back to my studio to get it ready to hang at the Long Center!
Always a family effort!!
My brother, Cameron, is always willing to lend a hand to help carry my art in and out of my studio. To complete the Ward family teamwork, my mom, Kem, helped me clean it up and spray a varnish on the piece to protect the linocut prints. It was wet and cold outside, therefore I needed to put up plastic covering my studio to be able to spray it inside. 24hrs later, we took it to the Long Center! I love my family. Thank you!
