About the work:
Like You and Me represents light and is intended to evoke hopefulness and discovery. Through the material’s reflective quality, the hemispherical shapes will draw viewers’ images together as they pass among the domes, the viewers’ forms looming, attenuating, and shifting across the vibrant, arcing surfaces.
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” - Edith Wharton
About the Artists:
Michael Moss and Claudia Ravaschiere have collaborated on public art and sound installation art for 20 years. Their work is in the permanent collection of the Boston Children’s Museum (Musical Chairs) and Perkins School for the Blind (Chiming Benches). A recurring concern in their work is the inclusion of participants of different physical and sensory abilities.
Their work has appeared in Boston’s City Hall, the Boston Harborwalk, the Mosesian Center for the Arts (Watertown, MA), in the public realm of Arlington, MA, in Boston’s Seaport, South End, and Fort Point, and most recently, in New York City’s Hudson Square neighborhood, as part of Hudson Square Canvas. The artists have been profiled on NPR’s "All Things Considered."
