For one month is the summer of 2010 with a grant from the The West Harlem Art Fund in partnership with the NYC Department of Parks I presented with work Closer: In Conversation an interactive public art lettering writing project inviting area residents and visitors of St. Nicholas park in Harlem to contribute letters about the neighborhood's past, present, and future. Five mailboxes with writing stations were situated throughout the park. The work a destination that could be visited by anyone allowed passersby to freely share their stores and memories of the park. Over a hundred letter were written during the month. The project continued into an ongoing, temporary public art work. Again in July 2014 in a residency as part of the No Longer Empty exhibit "If You Build It" on 155th street I created a new iteration of the work titled Letters to Sugar Hill. Letters written by visitors were scanned and exhibited at the conclusion of the residency. Most recently in 2021 the letter writing stations were installed along 125th street.
