I uncover inter-dependent relationships between nature and culture and present them through eco-art projects that provoke dialog. I believe art must subvert the status quo, and instead of only taking from the earth, we must restore our relationship.

This sculptural installation will naturally decompose and transfer nutrients to the earth. Sustainably harvested moss has been transplanted onto hemp macramé cradles of wheat bran plates and surround the oak tree as if it were a shrine. Moss absorbs and filters pollutants and heavy metals (it’s a key signifier in scientific analysis of field contaminations). The plates are made entirely of wheat bran and are fully compostable. Wheat bran has ancient connections as a fertilizer as it transfers amino acids, phosphorus and other nutrients much needed for soil health.

This project hopes that by doing something, something will happen.
