The Jane Jacobs Effect

Alison Garwood-Jones February 6, 2017

Today on Willful, we sat down with artist Heather Kocsis (@HKocsis) whose wood assemblages of old buildings and back alleys make us rethink our past and present. In Video 1, Heather describes: 

• Going from painting and printmaking to ripping apart pieces of wood.

• The role Jane Jacobs’ urban activism has played in her art practice.

• The joys of living with no rules.

Learn more about Heather’s study of architecture and the effects of time at HeatherKocsis.com. Her multidimensional pieces are in public, private and corporate collections across North America, including the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto and The City Reliquary in Brooklyn, New York.

Willful is the web series that tracks how artists and creative entrepreneurs work, thrive and survive. We interview one artist a week, then post five three-minute snack films from that interview on YouTube every day.
