Since 2005, my sculpture work has focused on integrating natural and recycled materials.
In 2020, I started incorporating Biochar into my visual practice. For a few years, I’ve been making it to use as a soil amendment and for forest management. Biochar (Charcoal) is nearly pure carbon. The average American has a footprint of 16 tons of carbon per year that goes into the atmosphere. I hope that the direct action of putting it in the gallery space will force the viewer to confront this important material, but also help to realize the solution to our carbon problem is at our fingertips. Contact me if we can use your (art)space to sequester carbon!
