Title: Dance, Child // Artist: Katie Hughbanks

about the piece

“Dance, Child” takes a macro look at tiny water droplets on a single seed from a spent dandelion. My goal is to bring the viewer close in and consider the preciousness of water. We all need and deserve clean water; we are water. I want the viewer to marvel at water’s beauty.
