Phylogeny- Seedlings of Life
The artist says: “My installation for Webster’s Woods Sculpture Park contemplates the miracle of life– a longsighted glimpse of how species may evolve in stressed environments.
The art includes long sinuous plant sculptural forms that “grow” out of a mound or a pile of dead discarded logged tree debris. The plant forms are surreal and phantasmagorical and are installed in the mound to give the appearance of an embryonic seedling that has just germinated. The plant forms are painted with glow paint, enhanced with the aid of black-light. This is reflective of plant types in nature that emit light. Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism. For plants and animals bioluminescence is vital for survival and also for reproduction and protection. Species evolve to survive, and the bioluminescence is an example of my developed plant forms that come to life at night.”

The artist says: “Recently my work has been dealing with themes of time related to memory, and how navigating different landscapes shapes our perceptions. I am also currently interested in the boundaries that occur between human industry and natural environments, and how these shifting zones influence our history and the decisions we make. I have been working on a series of hand made house structures. These are being installed at various site specific places within the city, they investigate notions around shelter and our relationship to the dwellings we create and live in. I am also currently working on a series of light sculptures and wall pieces made using from pieces of rope and remnants of the fishing industry.”
