100 WORLDS PROJECT
An exhibition of globe-inspired sculptures made by Ron Miriello, in collaboration with a community of craftsmen, makers, photographers and amici.
The 100 Worlds Project began with a simple idea – to create without commerce. I felt the need to a channel some creative energy toward a project without a clear objective and without a clear end point. To be resourceful with my time, with the objects around me and with the potency of the ample creative community that surrounded me.
A favorite childhood toy held the theme. A globe - representing community, collaboration, communications... The metaphors are many and led to countless sketches. Seemingly useless objects I collected for years, became essential. People I knew provided vital skills and resources to complete the pieces. A goal was set to create 100 unique globes and to involve as many "communities" as possible in the process- welders, photographers, educators, clients, friends. Each a creative contributor. An artist in their own unique way.
