As Art Installation Curator for the City of Plainfield’s Fence & Garden Art Installation, I curated the presentation of artwork within the city’s outdoor fence and garden environment. The project brought artistic expression into a public setting, creating opportunities to encounter artwork beyond traditional exhibition spaces.

Painted installation along outdoor fencing, with the surrounding buildings and ground visible

Unlike work presented within a traditional gallery, public art exists within the rhythms of daily life. Its placement invites people to encounter artistic expression while moving through familiar streets and shared spaces, creating opportunities for connection and discovery.
