An installation consisting of four rooms; the Grow Room containing plastic totes, BPA spinach and lettuce containers, and soil disturbed by local construction.
The Rain Simulation Room, where mirrored puddles and bubble wrap clouds imitate a post-storm view.
A quilt made of grocery bags fills the blue sky simulation room, like an imposing sky. All words are erased from the plastic except:
“WARNING: to avoid danger of suffocation, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children”
“Please return this bag to a participating store for recycling”
“Working with the EPA to protect the environment”

A woven mass of black, white and primary colors drips and dangles cord ends like raindrops.

OBSOLESCENE
2022
Mirror, bubble wrap, hay baling twine, artist’s 2001 television, aluminum beach chairs
The obsolescene refers to the planned obsolescence of technology and the obsolescence humans will soon face as a result.
As antitheses of organic matter, the materials I use can only exist because humans engineered them. Will future humans create simulations of the natural experiences of days past, using artificial means?

STYROCUMULUS
2021
Styrofoam cafeteria trays and glass packaging, borosilicate and blown glass, plastic bags, brass
Utilizing post-consumer synthetic waste as material, Styrocumulus is a space to envision possible experiences of the future, to have conversations, and to collectively imagine new answers. The materials used in this installation are byproducts of my career teaching and working with glass as an art form. I see synthetic material is a portrait of our severance from nature. We have become an invasive species, bringing with us “disposable,” never-decomposing materials we refuse to halt making in the name of comfort and convenience. I implicate myself as a part of this in using only waste generated by my own life and lifestyle.

CLOUDWATCHING
2021
Plastic bags, hay baling twine, bubble wrap, foam, flag stakes, 3:48 looping audio.

Inspired by the format of a child’s early landscape drawing, a yellow sun in the top corner, a blue sky, clouds, and flowers. Our cartesian understanding and experience of nature is reflected in this phenomenon of simplifying landscape. Our fleeting use of these “waste” materials mimics the ephemerality of our atmosphere.
As the viewer moves through the space, the sound of their interaction with the plastics completes a soundscape which plays through speakers within the structure. The soundscape, a collaboration with Digital Hell, is entirely created by synthetic means- wave machines, styrofoam, plastic bags. Together they make up an eerie soundscape reminiscent of a summer night, insects, amphibians and birds. It is an imagining of a post-human future in which only the most adapted animals survive- bugs and birds that have absorbed our waste and microwaste, and “adapted” to a hotter Earth.

THE CLOUD

Obsolete cables from the artist’s lifetime

A woven cloud rains earbud parts, obsolete but functional computer mice and ethernet cords.

FOR YOUR CONSUMPTION (SHITSHITSHIT)

Post-consumer plastic waste, nylon

The viewer encounters a plastic mass, mostly white and clear, with bursts of blue, red, and a yellow smiley face. Some elements are more recognizable than others-barcodes, american flags, grocery bags, bubble wrap with a transparent nylon fishing line warp.

ENTITIES
2020
Blown glass, consumer glass shards found in the Sawtooth Mountain Wilderness
A series of glass blown spheres whose color is post-consumer glass found in national forests. The bottles are not compatible with blown glass, creating cracks which can occur immediately or slowly over time. These works threaten to break the delicate balance at any moment, an obvious parallel to our impact on our own environment.
