Titled Waterworks • Rainwater Necklace + Culture and Craft, this conceptual design illustration depicting a cultural arts center building and surrounding landscape to be sited at the proposed Chatham Park development in Pittsboro, NC. Commissioned for presentation by BBG to the Preston Development Group, this sculptural structure is a demonstration facility for the rooftop harvesting of rainwater and the use of the collected water to support adjacent water features. The constructed stream corridor not only creates a park-like setting adjacent to the building but displays creative stormwater management techniques.

"My sculptural environments are aesthetically pleasing site-specific artworks that connect nature and culture by employing the three legacies for regenerative and sustainable design of (1) environment: natural systems, (2) education: experiential systems, and (3) engagement: cultural systems. By using a variety of art media and fabrication methods to create sculptural open spaces that are intended to support personal rejuvenation and inspiration, my sculptures provide venues for environmental learning and community celebration.”
