Projects devoted to our natural resources. Red Trees, 5 phases; sun, the shroud relic Red Trees memorializes our forests and brings awareness to its depletion. Red fabric covered over 300 cut trees for one year and were bleached by the sun with impressions depicting the last breath of the tree. The"shrouds" have undergone years of transformation by interacting with earth, sun, air, water and ether. Different locations travel the emotional trajectory of empathy, awareness and commitment, action and change. view red trees 100 Tears, 3 parts; earth, the tear relic 100 Tears explores individual memory and universal sentimentalites, and the correlation between compassion, thought, and creation. The mediums of glass, a hard metal and a reflective surface are used to make a series of tears that address the different types of emotive states that are specific to the properties used; fragile, heavy and illuminant. Each series of tears are transformed in meaning and appearance by exposure to the elements. view 100 tears World Rivers, many regions; water, the curtain relic The essence of our waterways are captured in white cloth that flows in rivers.

Time will tell.     learn more about these projects |
