Ms. Vicki Scuri
I am passionate about my work, promoting community identity and more livable public places through Art. I am an Interdisciplinary Artist and Designer, with a stellar track record spanning over 32 years. My work thrives at the intersections of Art with Urban Design, Environment and Infrastructure, bridging the gaps between disciplines to create a more meaningful and engaging public realm.
My projects are best known for symbolic pattern work, the play of sunlight and shadow over sculptural form, and my ability to conceptually engage the entire site as a canvas. My works are layered in meaning, inviting multiple views, and sustained interest. I excel in collaborations, with professionals and communities of different backgrounds than my own, promoting thoughtful, expansive dialogue and discovery. I have the ability to build consensus among diverse groups by distilling information and revealing human core values that transcend, age, race, or wealth. My process involves ongoing interaction through drawings, models and texts, to clearly communicate goals and milestones, including ongoing cost-estimating with potential fabricators to assure quality and buildability.
My practice includes creative placemaking, design team collaborations, mentoring interns, public outreach and public art master planning, promoting economic development through the Arts.
