Featured artist: Michael Ireland
Aquabord artist Michael Ireland believes successful public art is in effect, a way-finder, a sense of place. Geographically, it gives us a guide or reference relative to where we are going or a reminder of where we have been. It can also be a way-finder that guides our beliefs or challenges us to look within, perhaps grounding our senses as we experience our surroundings in a slightly different way.
