With Sunflowers in the Hothouse, 2024
Photographs, paracord, miniature clothespins, bioplastic, gold leaf, botanical specimens, book, grow lights.
Immersive installation, 750 sq. ft. Solo exhibition at Seerveld Gallery, Palos Heights, IL
My work is labor-intensive, yet its components are adaptable, with this installation highlighting the fragility of nature. Plants encased in bioplastics and suspended from woven paracord create an evolving, immersive collage environment that I modify to suit each new space and timeline—much like the steady growth of vines.
