An installation completed at EMPAC where the ambiguities of the toxic sublime are bridged across sensory registers. Includes work with a local citizen science microplastics project.

Installation, tasting, and series of works done while in residence at Prairie Ronde on the site of in-transition ruins of a historic industrial paper mill.

Perfume and sensory installation representing volatile organic chemical (VOC) phenomena releated to drought and rising average temperatures.

This installation, strcutured as an alternative archive (or “anarchive”), focuses on the collapse(s) of material categories in the Anthropocene and questions the boundaries between “natural” and “human-made.”

Currently on view as part of the Wellcome Collections’s permanent exhibition “Being Human,” this sculpture represents a DIY method for desalinating water.
