From the Artist:
In June of 2023, I installed “My Neighbors Garden,” in the Madison Square Park Conservancy, Manhattan, which received great critical notice, including a profile in the NY Times. Since then, my work has been engaged with the meaning made in a public forum with a family resemblance of methods and materials.
