Public Art is for Everyone

Bim Ditson has been making art full time since he was nine years old. First as a jewelry designer focused on reviving the ancient chainmaille techniques, he brought these lost arts into the modern fashion landscape. In recent years he has shifted focus from making art for individuals to making public art. The reason for the shift is this: if jewelry is for someone, public art is for everyone. This expression of universalism and this drive to bring joy and pleasure to everyone who experiences his work is where Bim finds meaning as an artist. It is about making undeniable work that crosses all language, story, and cultural boundaries. His work is compelling in it’s total originality and accessibility.

As a person, Bim is warm and wants to help you laugh. He mostly wants to be working on the latest huge art project. He finds narrative art a little bit predisposed to being pushy and instead chooses to use the peaceful nature of process art to further a more beautiful and inviting human-made landscape while here on earth.
