Wheel Questions is a unique outdoor art installation that tours public squares and festivals for six months a year. It invites visitors to ask an anonymous question about life on a colored card. The artist writes answers on the backs from a secular philosophy about thinking clearly and being proactive. The cards are then posted online and on the community installation for everyone to be inspired by. In 2009, more than 500,000 people saw the Wheel and 12,000 questions were contributed, most of which were answered.
The project has been featured in The Boston Globe, The Boston Globe (again!), The Boston Phoenix, Boston Magazine, and others. The Boston Globe says: The Wheel, with its plainly scribbled confessions of anxieties and doubts, is appealing in its unmediated clarity.
Other responses come from the people who have visited:Your response to the person who asked "why am I here?" inspired me to call my brother, whom I hadn't spoken to in four months. When I did so, I discovered that he was going in to the hospital the following week for a very risky surgical procedure. He would never have called to tell me.
Because I called, I was able to visit him in the hospital and help him afterward...THANK YOU. Your art does make a difference. -Sally
