From a series of self portraits woven into landscapes evocative of climate change.

From a series exploring plants used in remediation. Lavender was used historically to disinfect wounds.

From a series of drawings of "volunteer" plants in urban spaces.

This is a drawing of a grevillia plant used to remediate strip mine toxins, part of an extensive series of drawings of plants which remediate environmental damage in earth and water.

From a series on the history of Red Hook, Brooklyn neighborhood where I live, a busy port then and now.

From a series of drawings of plants used to make charcoal.

Part of a series of drawings of "volunteer" plants that thrive in urban environments with little attention or nourishment.

A small woolen hooded jacket with the edges of maps cut into the hems, hangs on a branch. Maps of all the continents of the world fall from a sleeve and hang on the opposite end of the branch. A fragment of a woolen blanket cut into the map of an urban plan hangs from a branch behind these maps. A small bird, as if seen from a great distance, overlooks the maps below.

Part of a series of drawings of "volunteer" plants---this one in the neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn which survived drastic flooding due to climate change several times in the last decade.

A child's hooded jacket made from maps of the world, hangs on a branch. From both sleeves cascade the maps of the continents of the world, falling and rising to hang on the opposite end of the branch. A bird perches on the branch, looking down. The implied figure is in stasis, in between departure and destination.

The wind currents over the Atlantic Ocean are burned into my grandmother’s blanket, a blanket which has endured decades of small repairs as it got passed down through several generations. The edges of the blanket are cut away in a drawing of continental boundaries.

This is part of an ongoing series of drawings of plants that remediate and mend damage. Lavender was used historically to disinfect wounds.
