Skip Schukmann

Attempts to enrich ongoing, ordinary moments in each of his clients lives.
"I am working for them by guiding them toward an understanding of their immediate surroundings and helping them to articulate their desires."
Site specific artist who responds to the site-specific personalities of his clients.
He seem very into his relationships with his clients.
"We must learn to be satisfied."
Uses the natural things available to create his art.
Seems very passionate about slowing down and enjoying what the world is all about.
People lean about his work through observing it, knowing a mutual acquaintance, or meeting with him.
Helps people develop their land thoughtfully.
His art is scientific in certain ways but conformed to a more personal approach.
He tries to stick to what's in his clients spaces to use for his "art" but if he needs to import things he takes advantage of other people's "trash"."
Which I think is very environmentally responsible.
It's amazing what he can do out of soil and logs, without polluting the world further.
He is continuously recycling the materials nature has to offer.
He wants to show people what is there all the time but which they don't take the time to notice.
Encourages his clients to "mess around" to get the same delight as him.
His schedule is very organic. He works all day, not just during the daylight hours.
Schukmann is an artist who sculpts the value systems of his clients as well as their land.
His manner of working evolves in the same way that life and the universe evolve.
Schukmann's work originates within the life stream and remains forever responsive to the ongoing effects of climate, weather, and human interactions.
