An cellular cosmogony
2018
Installation

Installation and ecological interface created while a resident at Art Farm Nebraska. A research site on a mowed section of grassland, devoted to several excavated landscapes and divided with improvised fencing. Focused on the study and documentation of preexisting organic and material systems reacting to transformations in their world. Largest site was an excavated hemisphere, whose pooling water transformed into a cloudy sky, and the ants that crossed its surface became so many tiny inhabitants of the cellular cosmos. The concept of “cellular cosmogony” was developed by the Koreshan Unity, a utopian movement in the late 19th century whose ideology was founded on the notion that we occupy the inner surface of a spherical world.
