Cory says the goal of creating large or life-sized animals is to create something in real space that is accessible no matter who looks at it.

By creating something beautiful with my hands from a common material often overlooked for its expressive properties, I seek to inspire emotion and ignite passion in the viewer. Art in the Park was founded to present public art to a broad community, to promote the works of artists, enhance outdoor spaces, and enrich llives and create visibility for the greater Worcester area.
