My work blends art and environmental activism. I have recently worked on Gowanus canal water contamination and NYC parks projects. As part of my crurent LMCC residency in their Art Center on Governors Island, I work with oysters and marine habitats. I create cameraless photography installations and using infrared light, I capture the island’s landscape. In the series "Resilient Wall" I allude to the fragility of the natural habitat, its enduring resilience, as well the urgency of restoration for the better tomorrow. Artificial oyster reefs created by the Billion Oyster Project span along NYC waterfronts, in hopes of re-wilding and protecting the city from flood surges. Resilient Wall is a metaphor for waves attenuation, waterfront reinforcement, erosion reduction, and creation of a home for marine diversity. It represents a beacon of hope that one day in very near near future New York harbor will regain its natural protection.
