Quest Nine
As a student of Purdue University’s first Creative Placemaking Certification the Artist Kori Thomas recognizes that Public Art can bring a community together, create equity in local business, and breathe new life to a forgotten place. When working within new spaces Quest Nine’s focus is to create a more connected community and leave residents and youth with a sense of hope, feelings of joy, and inclusion. Joy is defined as an intense momentary expression of positive emotion. Round things, pops of bright color, symmetrical shapes, lightness or elevation all innately bring us joy. The purpose behind artist Kori Thomas’s art is to allure the viewer to spend a moment outside their everyday lives and into the present moment. The artist adds “glitches” to her work which symbolize the unpredictability of life itself, bursts of energy, fleeting moments of joy, pain, and emotion. Researchers have found that people working in more colorful offices are more alert, confident, friendly, and productive. In schools and restaurants, attendance and clientele improves, and in public spaces, graffiti disappears.
