Artist's Statement
Imagination Station
By Ali Lynch
Inspired by children's imaginative play and diversity of ideas, I used mixed media to reflect the fun and interactive nature of a children's science museum. A truly hands-on piece of art highlighting elements of nature, community, local history and the exciting future, the piece is meant to inspire children to follow their own unique passions. I hope that this piece will provide an immersive experience, encouraging curiosity and sparking imagination and wonder in children and adults alike.
