"Public art substitutes for the town square, the area where we’re supposed to have our communal debates and discussions and exchange ideas. That’s when I consider my work successful. If it’s instigating discussion between us, then it’s happening between other people as well, and maybe there’s some conversation happening across party lines, so to speak. And that’s a good thing.
