Artist Statement
Shag Pools is a subtle piece that is integrated into the landscape and is meant to be discovered unexpectedly.
With elements of design and nostalgia, my intention is to bring the feeling of the interior into the open field,
combining my suburban upbringing from the 1970’s with the natural, outdoor surroundings at Franconia. This
piece is elegant, reflective, and beautiful while also conveying humor with its nod towards suburbia.
