How do we adapt to a reconfigured environment?


Inspired by the BP oil catastrophe, this new work – a collaboration with artist Benjamin Heller, marries the visual and physical arts – sculpture and dance – to investigate entering and exiting space -- adaptation and transformation -- to show the resilience of both human and nonhuman nature in environments during the act of discovery/recovery – maybe not to be restored to pre-disaster conditions, but transformed and reborn anew.

 

This work will focus on an inhospitable habitat that we render habitable in order to survive and have our place of sun.
