Jackie
Ferrara was born in Detroit, Michigan. She has
created large-scale public architectural and landscape
works since the 1970s in such places as Houston, New
York City, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Her
projects are influenced by the use and users of the
site and typically serve functions such as plazas,
walkways, amphitheaters, and towers. Ferrara’s
work has been featured in numerous books and periodicals,
including Harriet Senie’s Contemporary Public
Sculpture (Oxford UP, 1993). About her work
she writes, “I am committed . . . to discovering
new and unexpected ways to impact public spaces [and]
to meaningfully interface with the site.”
