Installation views of the Sunroom Project Space at Wave Hill in the Bronx. Several collection-based landscape projects derived from explorations of the eastern coast (Pelham Bay) and western coast (Hudson River/Riverdale Park/Wave Hill) of the Bronx. Truly magical landscapes to work in and an amazing venue to present the work.

The cardholder was made from a fragment found on the shore of Pelham Bay, a ready-made easel that I couldn’t pass up.

Collection of artifacts found in plain sight in western landscapes.  The final vitrine is created from an abandoned apiary found at Wave Hill.

The old beeswax and wires.

View South from the Sunroom.

A fully intact clay pipe c: 1850 and various other objects.

Fossils, cooking stones, a stick in the exact shape of a chicken head, the base of a quartz spear.

Vintage bottles found in plain sight ranging from 1840 to 1975.

Pelham Bay Collections.

A photographic collection titled “Silent Witnesses” and it features the amazing glacial erratics from the Pelham Bay region. The only photographic comprehensive documentation of these stones many of which have their own mythologies.

Dock foam collected as debris from the shores of Pelham Bay and repurposed as a pedestal for the artifacts found in plain sight throughout the landscape.

Detail of the collection.

Coins, trading beads, a finger nail, pottery…

Sunrise sunset and all the garbage I picked up between, is the title of the piece and it is exactly what the title says. The top two pictures were taken from a tiny pocket of land (.25 acres) that yielded a small mountain of trash.
