Public artwork for Walton High School, Bronx, NY, 1994- 1997 commissioned by Percent for Art, New York Dept. of Cultural Affairs.

12'X23'X5". bronze, marble, paper.

For this public work, there are twelve bronze boxes, each with a slot and a lock, installed on two new walls in the high school lobby, using salvaged marble from the school. Each box has a different word on it: WISHES, SUGGESTIONS, FEARS, DREAMS, COMPLAINTS, SECRETS, FANTASIES, WORRIES, OBSESSIONS, PROBLEMS, IDEAS, and OPINIONS. Students put papers into the boxes; they are collected and published regularly in the student activities newsletter. They will be published yearly in a book to be kept in the library.
