Lake of Dreams <br /> <br /> In honor of Martin Luther King’s quote, “We may have all <br />come on different ships but we’re in the same boat now.” <br />Commissioned Public Art for Make on Lake project in <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota. <br /> <br />Working with community concerns, business owners, area <br />students and residents to create a series of illuminated boats, <br />the largest of which was <br />skinned with instant <br />photos of the people <br />those who live and work <br />in the neighborhood. <br />Project included school <br />residencies and lectures. <br /> <br />Commissioned by the <br />Lake Street Council with <br />additional grants from <br />Hennepin County <br />Library System, PEN <br />America and others. <br />(Clockwise) Smaller boat made by students for shop window, boat <br />being photographed by subject for her social media account, PEN <br />America discussion with NPR “Our Stories, Our News,” photo of <br />schoolboys from the big boat, and students working together to <br />build the boat. <br />The Milligan Studio is inspired by working with communities to <br />celebrate their lives. It is our desire to create art with a sense of joy <br />and hope. <br />
