#### Tell us about you and your work as an artist
"I got involved in working in public space, straight art, public art, whatever words you want to use, but working outside of the box.."

#### What is the RedBall project?
"For me, Red Ball is not just the object; it’s actually the imagination of the process... It begins with the site visit, exploring corners unknown... It's about finding opportunities both big and small”

#### What was the original inspiration behind the RedBall project?
I wanted to do work that wasn’t defined by any barriers..I wanted to be out in space in an unmediated way. It's ultimately a democratic piece, a public piece not just because it's outside (but) because it operates in the public imagination.

#### What inspired you to take this around the world? How many cities has it been to?
Corners that are unknown and places that are known to explore a city and embrace it!” _(It has traveled to 39 cities worldwide!)_

#### How does the RedBall project make an impact on the city it travels to?
One of the things that has been amazing in Tainan is the reception by the city and the audience and the people has really been unprecedented.

#### What makes you excited about Cohart and the future of the platform?
I'm excited to be involved in Cohart because I like the idea of inclusion, I like the idea of artwork that moves beyond borders and barriers.

It’s not just an object, it’s considered “the world’s longest–running street art work” having been to over 25 cities globally!
