RESPECT

RESPECT | 2017 | acrylic on cinder block | 10’ x 35’ | Benson Middle School | Benson, North Carolina

The message of RESPECT is about raising awareness concerning issues related to bullying, students with disabilities, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Students used American Sign Language to communicate that message. RESPECT became transformative, insightful, and understanding among students, teachers, and staff.

Thank you to an Arts in Education Grant by the North Carolina Arts Commission in support of my one month residency; art teacher, Magen Pike and her students; and Benson Middle School in Benson, North Carolina.
