Participatory Public Artwork
Lynn Takata creates mosaics, sculpture and murals
with children, families and neighborhoods to build tangible symbols of
community pride. She has created over 300 public artworks
with concrete, tile, glass, ceramic and paint involving
hundreds of participants. Participants create their own designs and she choreographs these elements as the design develops. It is
a dynamic and exciting improvisational process that creates meaningful public spaces.
“Thank you so much for the lovely workshop this weekend. It was so well done, and you do a really amazing job working with folks that struggle more with the creative process, I appreciate your thoughtful and encouraging methods...
I also really appreciate you working so patiently with the students who are learning how to participate, how to work as a group, and how to be proactive.”
