Welcome!

WELCOME!
This virtual space is a place where I can share all of the great projects and artists that have taken on "environment" as a theme in their work. As I do research for a project of mine called Uncovering Food & Health, Altar of Awareness, that looks at the food we eat and how that has impacted health, especially in minority communities, I am finding more and more that I want to share and remember here. My project draws from Dia de los Muertos, as a hope to speak to my own Latin community about health, food, and the environment.

seeding the city a plan for greening the urban expanse



"This is a public art project that asks, why have just one roof with 1,000 square feet of green, when you can have 1,000 roofs with 1 square foot of green? (Or in this case, about 4 square feet and a flag!)

The project uses neighbor to neighbor referrals for siting small green roof modules. It builds a community of people interested in environmental issues and educated about urban environmental issues and remediation. It also plants the seed of the idea of creating green (roof) space in New York city (and beyond!).

The project is about POTENTIAL. These are small modules (remember, less than 4 square feet) but they get people thinking about environmental issues and the role that we can each play in creating a more sustainable & hospitable environment. Each installation is a seed of potential – potential for community action, potential for more green roof, potential for change!"
