Mars Patterson
Central Library / Our Town Everywhere
May - June 2023
Utilizing an interdisciplinary art experience, Mars explored the intersectionality of art, plants, soil, and community through reflective and reconnecting processes. Mars invited the community to explore ideas and stories through nature by capturing images, using Polaroids, that they felt were a reflection of themselves or a representation of their life story within their current space.
This residency was an extension of the Our Town Everywhere project, in which our artist-in-residence is encouraged to explore the idea of the community portrait through a variety of mediums.
