Public Art at Jackson Hole Center for the Arts

Camp Wood (wood and paper, 5'x2'x4') at Jackson Hole Arts Center, Jackson, WY. Big thanks to Carrie Richer, Meg Daly, Travis Walker and Scotty Craighead for helping realize this temporary installation at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts. The installation will run in conjunction with the Greater Yellowstone exhibition at Daly Projects from October 8th to 31st. 

Greater Yellowstone Exhibition Opening

I'm excited to present my  Greater Yellowstone exhibition from October 8th to 31st, 2015 at Daly Projects in Jackson, WY. 

In January 2015 I was awarded the Teton ArtLab Artist Residency in Jackson, Wyoming. I used the month-long residency to investigate ecological and cultural forces at play within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. My research-driven artwork promotes ecological awareness by highlighting environmental management, cultural attitudes, and land-use practices found throughout the iconic ecosystem.

The year-long project culminates with a multi-disciplinary immersive installation featuring silkscreen prints, mixed media drawings, maps and installations in and outside the galleries at Daly Projects in Jackson, Wyoming. In conjunction with exhibition, I will realize several temporary installations throughout Teton County.

Opening reception is on Thursday, October 8th from 5 to 7PM.

Teton ArtLab GYE Field Reports

Jackson was wonderful, but I'm relieved to be back in Cambridge. As a wrap up to the Teton ArtLab artist residency, I've published 31 field reports on the project webpage here. These field reports document my Teton ArtLab residency, including research, landscape exploration and creative development of the project. Field reports take the form of mixed media drawings, maps, educational diagrams, photography and one-page proposals. Each field report image is coupled with a few lines of text for context.
