"I AM A STUDENT OF LIFE. ART IS MY VEHICLE TO GET A SEAT AT THE TABLE. TO ASK WHAT ARE WE DOING? AND HOLD SPACE FOR ALL TO CLARIFY WHERE WE WANT TO GO. I BRING MY WORK DIRECTLY TO AREAS AND MARKETS TO BE UTILIZED IN OUR DAILY LIVES. TO COMPLIMENT AND ELEVATE SITUATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTS. TO BE USED AS A TOOL. TO LEAD. TO ENGAGE. TO DISRUPT. TO ALLOW OUR TRUE NATURE TO SURFACE AND SEE WHAT THAT RIPPLE EFFECT CAN DO.
I CURRENTLY SPECIALIZE IN LARGE SCALE SCULPTURE AS IT ALLOWS ME TO CONSTANTLY BREAK DOWN PREVIOUS BARRIERS AND PERSPECTIVES. TO DATE I HAVE BROUGHT ALL MY PROJECTS FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION AND HAVE COMMISSIONED WORKS IN BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SETTINGS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
I USE SOME OF MY ART AS PLATFORMS TO ENGAGE COMMUNITIES AND YOUTH. "LAUNCH INTENTION" IS BASED AROUND THE SYMBOL OF A PAPER AIRPLANE AND IS USED TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS IN THE ACT OF SETTING INTENTION, SHARING WITH THE GREATER COLLECTIVE AND LAUNCHING INTO ACTION. I HAVE INSTALLED AND PROGRAMMED LARGE SCALE "PAPER" AIRPLANES IN COMMUNITIES AND SCHOOLS ACROSS THE U.S. THE PROJECT STARTED WITH MY OWN REALIZATION OF THE POWER OF INTENTION AND CONTINUES TO DEVELOP WITH EACH EXPERIENCE AND PERSON WHO PARTAKES IN IT. THE POTENTIAL IS ENDLESS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING A PART OF THE RIDE." - GRIFFIN LOOP
