Outdoor Ephemeral Works

Tumbleweeds on view:
1. Artina at Sandy Spring Museum, Howard County, MD installed summer of 2018 for four months. The works are a series of five tumbleweeds created from heavy weight dark green fabric, meant to evoke a sense of surprise for the viewer to come upon them amongst the trail walks on the museum grounds. The armature is heavyweight screen and cable wire, sewn onto screen printed fabric with my "signature" Scrabble-derived pattern. Each tumbleweed has a haiku wood block printed onto the surface.

2. Foggy Bottom Biennial in Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington DC. Invitational exhibition during the summer/fall of 2021.

3. Installation at Waddell Arts Center in Stirling VA fall 2022.

Tumbleweeds cavort Howling winds scour the landscape
Nature’s broom sweeps wide

Life begins rooted
Upon death a roiling weed
Scatterlings flurry

Thistle caught by gusts
Crackerjack seed dispersants
Whirl prance dance tumble

Whirling dervishes
Frenetic tumbling thistle
Abrupt finale

Thorny plant unmoored
Keening wind slings tumbleweed
Desert vagabonds
