Nature of Life
Horace Mann Elementary
School, San Jose, California
This site-specific public art project consisted of five
smaller projects. Each of these works was intended to provide an
interactive, aesthetic
learning experience for the students, and to familiarize them with
the flora and fauna of their local environment. In this way the
project allowed for a broadening of the viewer’s sense of
place and memory. Several of the pieces also offered the potential
for a hands on experience for the students through the process of
making molds and/or rubbings of portions of the piece.
