Environmental Art Installations
Over the past nine years I have made temporary works on the land. The pieces evolve and change through the seasons.
“Mow,” started in 2007 uses the lawn mower as a sculptural tool.
“Leaf Parterre” uses lawn regeneration. Both use the parterre formal garden structure as a template.
At I-Park in East Haddam, Connecticut I was given the opportunity to make permanent garden installations that relate to the local environment.
Started in 2012, “Invasives - Topiary - Parterre” uses four invasive species found within I-Park. The plantings are restricted by square cages.
“Hortus Conclusus - Enclosed Garden,” made at a residency at I-Park in May/June 2014 consists of two installations - Enclosed Turf Garden and The Forbidden Garden
With an agreement made with I-Park these works will be maintained by me in perpetuity.
