Artist Statement
Certain things give us a sense of pride or a sense of being home. A characteristic feature of Utah is the common practice of expressing that pride in the form of letters that represent the city and schools that are there.
I have always been perplexed by these letters. I enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes from reaching that symbol of coterie. It feels like home when you can see your letter overlooking the valley.
I have represented a few of these communities who have identified themselves with these letters. Each picture of a letter is coupled with its corresponding view from the top. This represents both feelings these letters give me as well as many others; feelings of community and accomplishment.
