Collaborations

The work in this gallery was created for a variety of sites in collaboration with two different fellow artists. We fought with giant grapevines to seduce them out of the tangled forest, we pruned apples trees into shapely forms and commandeered the prunings, and cut curly willow branches. We experimented with combinations of leaves and bark and clay and branches. In the end we suffered from dislocated thumbs and shoulders, but our abundant daily picnics made it all worth it.
