Public Art

We Need Education Not Violence

This mural was created in partnership with Christ Church Cathedral and is meant to capture the attention of the city and its citizens and serves as a large scale response to the issue of gun violence. It is intended to promote conversations on how we as a society can move forward peacefully in creating a safer world in which to live.

 

“The mission of public art is always to stimulate a conversation and encourage the individual to struggle with the meaning of the image,” says Dean Gail Greenwell. “The juxtaposition of an image that looks like a gun but is actually a pencil is the artist inviting us to imagine what might be different if weapons were transformed into something quite different.”
