A Sauk Prairie Meander

The Sauk Prairie School District hosted "Between Fences", a Smithsonian Museum on Mainstreet exhibit as the result of successful grant writing and fund raising efforts of River Arts, inc., a non-profit arts presentation organization based in the community and associated with the Sauk Prairie School District. Major funding for this program was administered through the Wisconsin Humanities Council and involved the creation of a community centered exhibit focusing on the theme of land, place, and space. This piece as well as a series of limited edition prints featured in the border vignettes was part of a traveling exhibit.

The core group pulling together the Sauk Prairie portion of this exhibit solicited a proposal for an art piece focusing on fences as part of their community specific presentation. I was fortunate enough to be selected to create the piece. The vignette link above will take you through a series of images that lead up to the final: the huge map addressing history, sociology, land use and land features, as well as the physical and metaphorical nature of fences in the Sauk Prairie School District.
