Artist's Statement: Dream of Redwood Trees is a meditation of hopeful things to come, and is based on a detained youth’s dream that I learned about at the roundtable discussion with the youth. In the mural, a youth is dreaming of a rock submerged in a redwood forest. Words and images written by detained youth during my workshops at the old Juvenile Hall snake through the mural and speak to the viewer. A dream box travels along the trail, and inside, a youth sleeps at home and dreams of a beautiful night sky while two youth bike along the trail.
