Nevada Rivers Project

At the Nature Conservancy's River Fork Ranch Preserve in Nevada's Carson Valley. The work is situated in the newly restored flood plain of the East Brockliss Slough of the Carson river. At 360 feet long and varied heights, with 750 lived-staked willows planted and woven into the sculpture, this work is designed to enhance the riparian habitat in a ranching corridor.

Bay Clay Oyster Reef

Bay Clay Oyster Reef: In collaboratiion with Bay Area sceintists and conservation organizations, we are prototyping an innovative and aesthetically-minded oyster bed destined for installation in the East Bay near the Oakland Estuary and Lake Merritt. Using only substances taken from the Bay our sculptures are returned to bay waters to recruit the oyster larvae that will attach and eventually build the large oyster beds that once populated shorelines and protected marshes and acted as storm surge barriers. Support for this project in made possible by the Headlands Center for the Arts, Alumni New Works Award 2013, a 2012 Center for Cultural Innovation Investing in Artists Grant, and The Arts and Healing Network.

Foraging Island

A habitat enhancement installation on a former city dump, Foraging Island was created at the Palo Alto Baylands Preserve, the site of a former city dump. The project was created with over one hundred volunteers from local residents, city council members, and representatives of the Audubon Society. Burrowing owls were spotted at the site shortly after completion. Commissioned by City of Palo Alto Public Art.
