In our "Meet the Makers" series, we're pulling back the curtain on the artists and creators behind some of the most compelling commissioned works and public art experiences of our time. These short films offer a glimpse into their processes, their perspectives, and the stories that drive their work. Dive into the CODAworx platform to discover more about the makers featured here and explore the full breadth of creative talent shaping the spaces we live, work, and gather in. There's something irreplaceable about hearing an artist talk about their own work. In our "Meet the Makers" series, we hear directly from the creators behind some of today's most compelling commissioned works and public art experiences, letting them share, in their own words, the ideas, intentions, and inspirations that shape what they make. These short films are an intimate introduction to the people behind the work, and just a taste of what you'll find when you explore their full profiles on CODAworx. --- #### Margot Sawyer's* Synchronicity of Color *for Eskinazi Health in Indianapolis: --- #### Patrick Shearn of Poetic Kinetics introduces his Enchanted Trees series:   #### Learn about *Geist*: a touring mixed media artwork by This is Loop:   #### Get to know Isaac Caruso, and his self-funded creation Sam & Sara   #### Rebeca Mendez commissioned by LA METRO: "At the Same Time"   [Back to List](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine) [Next Article](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/shuli) ### More from CODAzine [![](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/hubfs/Relieve%20x%20Uploaded%20by%20ESNAL.%20LLC.jpg)](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/what-the-2026-codaawards-jury-had-to-say) [What the 2026 CODAawards Jury Had to Say...](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/what-the-2026-codaawards-jury-had-to-say) 31 Aug, 2026 [![](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/hubfs/1786477863511.webp)](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/giant-hummingbirds-land-at-richmond-international-airport) [Giant Hummingbirds Land at Richmond International Airport](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/giant-hummingbirds-land-at-richmond-international-airport) 19 Aug, 2026 [![](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-08-18%20at%202.00.44%20PM.png)](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/big-art-loop-how-san-francisco-became-an-open-air-gallery) [Big Art Loop: How San Francisco Became an Open-Air Gallery](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/big-art-loop-how-san-francisco-became-an-open-air-gallery) 19 Aug, 2026 ## Subscribe to CODAzine ### Relevant posts [What the 2026 CODAawards Jury Had to Say...](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/what-the-2026-codaawards-jury-had-to-say) 31 Aug, 2026 [Giant Hummingbirds Land at Richmond International Airport](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/giant-hummingbirds-land-at-richmond-international-airport) 19 Aug, 2026 [Big Art Loop: How San Francisco Became an Open-Air Gallery](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/big-art-loop-how-san-francisco-became-an-open-air-gallery) 19 Aug, 2026 ## Get insights and data from CODAreview [Order your copy](https://www.google.com/) ## Related Posts [![Behind the Work: Industry Presenters at CODAsummit 2025](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Float4%20Industry%20Presentation%20Image%20CODAsummit%202025.jpg?width=900&name=Float4%20Industry%20Presentation%20Image%20CODAsummit%202025.jpg)](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/behind-the-work-industry-presenters-at-codasummit-2025) ###### [Creative Placemaking](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/tag/creative-placemaking) ##### [Behind the Work: Industry Presenters at CODAsummit 2025](https://knowledge.codaworx.com/codazine/behind-the-work-industry-presenters-at-codasummit-2025) Oct 8, 2025 11 min read From fabrication and materials to technology and consulting, the industry pres.
