Larson offers this invitation to the Nashua community: “It’s a circus. It’s a performance. It’s a production. You get to see four talented artists making large format sculpture for your town, and it’s the only time that an artist takes that really, really tender, fragile practice that is art making, risk taking, and does it in front of everyone, publicly. Sounds scary, just saying.  Don’t scare us.  Don’t scare them. So, stop by, stop by, chat with our artists, engage with their making practice, with their artistic practice, and they will in turn engage with you.”
