Newton Harrison

 

Portrait of Helen and Newton HarrisonNewton Harrison’s career spans almost three quarters of a century through collaborations with artists, communities, government officials, planners, and scientists. The transformative power of art, keeping critical conversations alive—“conversational drift”—and storytelling have been central to his work. Over a sixty-five-year career in higher education, Newton has trained hundreds of artists to think across disciplines and to always question the scale in which they work, famously asking, “How big is here?” See https://theharrisonstudio.net.
