“Every project begins with a story and a purpose. Through iterative design and an in-depth discovery process, I search for ways to create a meaningful response to context — socially, culturally and spatially.”
Vanessa Till Hooper is an artist whose work lives at the dynamic intersection of public art and placemaking. By transforming our public spaces into vibrant environments of meaning, wonder, and shared experience, Hooper connects people to place in new and exciting ways that resonate with the current needs of our time.
With projects that range in scale and complexity, from simple lightweight suspended forms patterned with projection mapped digital content, to sculptural walls the length of a football field, Hooper’s work has impact. She works collaboratively with cities, universities and community organizers, activating space in wild and unexpected ways, inspiring us to think more creatively about what is possible in public spaces.

Bio
I have always believed there is a strong link between our physical environment and our state of mind, but am only now becoming aware of the many ways public art can actively empower individuals and communities with agency, voice, and choice. By focusing the perceived value of art from object to experience, the measure of success is determined not by the outside world, but by the individual visitor's personal experience.
With a bachelor's degree in art, and a master’s degree in architecture, my body of work traverses the overlapping disciplines of art, architecture and design. Over the past 15 years, my work has grown in scale and complexity, and has led to a specialization in creative technologies, and a deeper understanding of architecturally integrated artworks, and the particular considerations necessary for work designed to be displayed in the public realm, both temporary and permanent.
