That’s so nice, Barbie. Thanks for listening!

Geri,
It’s not so much a black hole as it is a new universe of possibilities. The choice is overwhelming because many of these fabricators exist outside of art fabrication — although more and more are specializing in it. One thing I recommend in my book is to look at the work of other artists on the Public Art Network’s Year in Review: https://www.americansforthearts.org/by-program/networks-and-councils/public-art-network/pan-year-in-review-database
The fabricators are often listed. Do this enough and you’ll start getting an idea of how your work could be translated to other materials and the variety of fabricators available.

(While I was looking at the Year in Review I came across this awesome community project that I didn’t know about before, Eastpoint Public Art Residency: https://www.americansforthearts.org/by-program/networks-and-councils/public-art-network/public-art-year-in-review-database/eastpoint-public-art-residency

Entirely my pleasure, Lynn! And, I agree (as I sit here looking at my corner of privilege).
