Sean Dicker
Sit down with Austin, Texas-based artist and writer Sean Dicker as we discuss what the Lower Your Sights project means to him, his contribution to the anthology, and his thoughts on the unifying power of art.
Q: What does this project mean to you?
Sean: I’ve always loved giving back and helping those who need it. Growing up I spent my summers I rebuilding homes for people along the Appalachian Trail. So to be able to give back to some of the most vulnerable, some of the most deserving using my art truly means the world to me. These kids have no control over what’s going on around them and they deserve all of our best.
Q: What is your contribution to Lower Your Sights? (Short Story, Pinup, Etc.)
Sean: I was the artist of a short story called The Wheel, written by an amazing writer and friend Jarred Lujan.
Q: In addition to supplying food and essential supplies, Voices of Children also provides art therapy to help kids cope and overcome the stress, anxiety, and trauma of living in war conditions. Do you believe art has the power to heal?
Sean: Without a doubt I believe in the healing power of art. Art has healed me in more ways than I can comprehend. It can give a voice to the voiceless and can help you be seen when you are lost. Art can be whatever we want it to be.
