I was in a class called Place: Site Responsive. In this class, we researched and studied the history and current state of Mission Hill. We proposed our own projects in response to what we learned. I worked with the Parker Hill Library, which at the beginning of the semester was facing closure. Originally I was trying to work with keeping the library open. Throughout the semester, the future of the library continued to change, eventually being allowed to stay open. With this exciting news, my project shifted to raising awareness for the importance of the public library in the neighborhood. I set up questionnaires which were left at the entrance of the library. From the answers I received, I created bookmarks with people's responses on them, and I placed those bookmarks throughout the library.

The death penalty claims innocent lives. Since 1973, 138 people have been released from death rows throughout the country due to evidence of their wrongful conviction. In the same time period, more than 1,200 people have been executed. Ink on canvas |
