GARDEN : Garden (sculpture) (2008-)

Installation front view
Wood, plastic containers, weeds found near Brooklyn College campus, dimensions variable

What started as a ritual, gathering of plants along my path to my studio, eventually became a project that inverted my basic understanding of a garden. This project proposes several questions: What are the origins of the word “garden’’? What roles have gardens played in society, throughout civilization? What purpose do they serve? And what are the benefits and for whom?
