Ecological Relics
My aesthetic practice intersects science and issues concerning the physiological processes of the global landscape and humanity’s impact upon its architectural design. In direct opposition to the Buddhist tenet of Ahimsa, humanity recklessly disrupts the complex interconnected web of Earth’s organic life forms’ ability to perform critical tasks for healthy survival. As an environmental artist and botanical steward for building urban pollinator habitat, I create land and gallery projects that advocate for the rights of all living organisms to have sustainable organic habitat.
These ecological relics, shrines and altar constructs express appreciation for Earth’s harmonic bountiful architectural design as powerful healing medicine, and provide a meditative playful aesthetic to encourage an empathetic kinship toward all life forms. Marking an uncertain future for Earth’s elegantly designed ecosystems, these relics tap into the value of Earth’s healing energy and the need for the regeneration of organic habitat that rightfully prospers all living beings.
