Nature is large, abundant. What am I to do with it? My installations started with bought bales of pine needles — what easy abundance! — and evolved to collecting pine needles from a grove of loblolly pines, and stripping bark at a logging site. (The loss of huge tulip poplars, hearing them crash across the valley from us, was a painful experience, but there was the offering, the opportunity, I could not pass up.)

I relish the challenge of on-site installation, problem solving, as a bird or beaver chooses its site, its materials — except they’ve done it before and it’s probably in their genes.

Please look into what I’ve come up with so far. It’s my passion.
