Not Far Into the Future....
The year is 2025. Failure to control unbridled consumption, resource depletion, insensitive development, and booming human numbers has undermined the environmental resource base resulting in a food shortage. Radical changes in sustainable food production are undertaken in urban centers worldwide. New designs, technologies, and social innovations are developed. Innovative tools, models, and ideas centering on sustainable food production become necessary to feed the masses.
2025 is not that far into the future. Knowing we are headed down that path, how can we creativity address issues of sustainability through art now in 2010?
Sustainability, the marginalization of nature in city life along with the tensions derived through confrontations between architecture and the natural systems within the built environment must first be addressed. I am interested in using existing spaces and creating disruptions by placing horticulture in unexpected locations. These indoor/outdoor works create temporary green spaces that require care and supervision from the community. Such works demonstrate that nature can take on a new role in affording the community an opportunity to engage in a constructive solution to sustainability, one that leads to consensus building and empowerment.
