COLLABORATORS As collaborators, they produce site-specific and gallery-based art works that respond to their surroundings. Their vision is to ignite conversation and art-making participation in themes related to the environment, particularly through a lens that looks at the intersection of the suburban place, transportation, development, nature and technology. Their proposal, “Double Take”, will use temporary artworks at different sites around the community to enhance and reflect on the spaces we see everyday.
