“the fragility and vulnerability of Witte’s drawings encompass a different standpoint on the history of the drawing medium. Instead of standing at the doorway to look at Witte’s installation, the drawings expect you to enter the space; the presence of a body, while it is essential to the full experience of the piece, is usually the start of its undoing.
”
“According to Witte, “the temporal nature of the project reveals that everything is subject to change and we must embrace the present moment to shape change.”
Witte’s hope for Seed the Change is that it will “highlight the city’s human potential; creating a welcoming space shaped by its people that embodies the beauty of labors of love, conversation, and individual expression.” ”
