Ginger Cyan joined our Reuse Residency with a focus on miniature art, and finding pieces of joy and artwork in and around the places we live.  

 

Ginger is deeply inspired by the potential for creativity to transform the materials we discard and also the spaces we walk through every day. Sidewalk Joy is an exploration of this transformation: turning overlooked public spaces and discarded objects into moments of surprise, beauty, and connection. These tiny installations are meant to inspire whimsy and wonder while inviting people to pause and experience a moment of unexpected beauty in their everyday lives. This work is rooted in the belief that art can be accessible to all. In a town like Moab, where the natural landscape is the star, this work hopes to introduce a playful counterpoint: a reminder that beauty and wonder can be found in the smallest and most unexpected places. In this project, Ginger is not just making art; she is inviting the community to see the world through a new lens – one that values sustainability, creativity, and the joy of discovery. Ginger hopes to ignite a conversation about the power of reuse and the endless possibilities for creative expression in a world full of waste.
