Creates performance and site-specific installation, incorporating sculpted objects, survival architecture and wearables to address climate change and sustainability
I created a series of portable wildfire shelters during a recent artist residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute. The following photographs document temporary site-specific installations I carried out in the Santa Fe National Forest, where, one year earlier, the Calf Canyon & Hermits Peak Fire burned over 340 000 Acres.
