Faculty – Interdisciplinary Sculpture, Foundation, and Master of Arts in Community Arts
Jann Rosen-Queralt is interested in creating site integrated work that reveals the character of a place and its users. Much of her public artwork, exterior and interior site-specific environments have been based on collaborative thinking. She is aware of the complexity of this type of work and the need for an ongoing communication whether working with design professionals, engineers, scientists, fabricators, or the communities that use the spaces.
Her work is intended to serve as a catalyst for urban revitalization and improved environmental health. Themes such as mapping, inventory of past and present conditions, and context compose the multi-layered character of her work. Each layer is supported by additional ideas such as environmental sustainability, community connections, the poetry of voice, and historic/cultural sensitivity.
Through her work as a problem solver and initiator she hopes to inspire and incite change in social visions, thus improving the quality of the built and natural environment. She wishes to join both the individual and the collective spirit in the creation of public space.
Selected past projects include: "Awi-Spek" (Observer of Birds) a site-specific work including community engagement at the Billingsley Medical Campus, Charlotte, NC, Powhatan Springs Park, a collaboration with OCULUS, a landscape architectural firm, and the Kerns Group Architects in Arlington, Virginia; "A Surveyor's Map," created with Roma Campanile, ASLA, located in Annmarie Garden on St. John Creek, Calvert County, Maryland; and "Walk Between," commissioned for the Meyerhoff Arts Center, Goucher College, Towson.
