Maps encourage boldness. They're like cryptic love letters. They make anything seem possible.
Mark JenkinsStop worrying about whether they can handle it. You want the truth? Your kid is hardier than you are... Kids are tough.
Mark JenkinsInterfacing street sculpture in public space creates an installation environment that turns regular space into art space. Signs and people and everything around a street sculpture-they all become part of it. A two-dimensional work, being confined to surfaces, doesn't have as much of a capacity.

Mark JenkinsGive your kids responsibility. Once outside, let them lead, who cares if you get lost; it might be the best trip you've ever had.
Mark JenkinsOnce I have the finished sculpture, Iโll put it out on the street or in nature or somewhere where it interacts with the environment. Really itโs kind of the idea of turning the street into a stage and this sort of urban theater has a life of its own. If you have creative drive, and you need to manifest it, then you need some sort of medium to do that through. For me, it worked out with sculpture, and tape just is a means of doing sculpture.
