Recorded Panel and Video Tour, 2020-2021
As plastic breaks down, the microscopic particulates it leaves behind are now found within all parts of the environment. They are so embedded within our life support systems as to be inseparable from them. These sculptures reference the body systems that allow us to absorb food, water, and air, all of which have been found to harbor surprisingly large amounts of micro plastics.

On the left is a video tour of the exhibit, and on the right is a recording of a panel organized for the show.

Video Walkthrough of the Exhibition at the Krasl Art Center, Saint Joseph, MI, 2020

re-formations was on view at the Krasl Art Center from March 13th - May 31st, 2020. This is a video walkthrough of the exhibit.

Embedded in solid form lies a fluid history of growth and a process of formation. We can find it in a body, a tree, or geological strata, where the immense scope of a landscape and the history that is literally embedded within it spans an amount of time beyond our comprehension. But growth can also be impeded, intruded upon, deformed and compressed by conflict or lack of resources. And that is where I find my focus now, on the environmental issues facing us today.

Interview at the Museum of Copenhagen, 2014
Designed for the Museum of Copenhagen’s Urban Nature exhibition, the museum’s flat, grass covered backyard was transformed into a space of varied levels and outdoor rooms, connected by a flowing path and surrounded by layered plantings that provide nourishment and space for people as well as pollinators.
Intersections is about the encounter between nature and culture, and the movements and negotiations between the two. The space transitions from a cultivated and ordered garden to gradually transforming into something more wild and natural. This is symbolized by the choice of fruiting trees, berries and vines in the first section, and perennial plantings for bees and pollinators in the other. The garden is both a place for contemplation as well as a space that offers the opportunity to reflect on biodiversity and balance with nature.
