ZACH ROTHMAN-HICKS

I have had the pleasure of creating outdoor installations as part of my collaborations in the PIMA MFA Program at Brooklyn College. My partners and I are exploring how the placement of newspaper puppets, found objects, and live bodies in various outdoor public spaces can highlight themes of friendship, isolation, resilience, and intimacy. We have created these installations in Central Park and Prospect Park.
