"In a world in which we often find ourselves isolated and estranged from one another, my work suggests and celebrates the possibility of relationship and community where love, support, playfulness and individual self expression can flourish."  -Peter W. Michel

  PROJECT NEWS: 
Peter had a display about the project at the Planners Network National Conference in Rochester, New York on June  21-24 and gave a 2 screen slide presentation sub titled:  "Public Art as a Tool for Community Activation"  It was well received and may lead to placement of the first in the series of sculpture designs and placements as part of the project.
