Sculptural Landscapes
(Aesthetic Engineering)

These site-specific art installations are designed and installed to artistically address and solve ecological problems in a natural or man-made environment.  H₂O Flow (Chapel Hill Town Hall courtyard) and StoneLeaf+FairyCircle (Bond Park, Cary) are examples where the temporary sculpture installations employ stormwater management solutions to reduce erosion problems and clean water runoff in public park-like settings. One aspect of these two projects, community participation is an integral part of my artist practice, was to include the public in the on-site creation and installation process.  The Cary installation also included several large-scale bright-colored fabric forms that spotlighted and then attracted visitors to the installation.

"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.”
