Tell me a Story, Sing me a Lullaby is a series of two video works in which Riggs reimagines the hopes, wishes, and perspectives of the child. A Fountain Just For Me presents a re-invention of a fountain monument within a concrete area in an apartment complex and in The Clown and The Piano, a sad clown seeks a place where s/he can be accepted for who they are.

One of the most innate human needs is for a feeling of belonging and the construction of identity. We are put under a lot of pressure to form a sense of self from our youth. You might recall hearing adults asking your younger self that dreaded question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Instances like this have ignited Rebecca Riggs’ interest in the human condition, which is explored in her art practice.
