"Equation"
This is an installation/research project about a small stream called
Nine Mile Run that runs next to a slag heap, between Squirrel Hill
and Swissvale. I have created a system of site, non-site and sub-site
to promote my daily inquiry and activity. The system can be read
as a narrative. Hewlett Gallery, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh
Pa.
"Cho-en"
(butterfly garden) This is a garden/habitat in the
midst of an urban redevelopment project. In early work with a biologist,
entomologist and botanist we were able to identify a discontinuous
green corridor that might provide access for insects and birds through
the site. We planned and executed a small garden with extensive
guidelines on maintenance. The goal was to turn the city gardeners
into stewards/guides of the garden. A project of the public art
program San Francisco Redevelopment Agency. Artwork for the Yerba
Buena Garden in San Francisco.

which carried a cargo of native plants. Presented at the Marin Civic

on the waterfront which is currently the site of a major wildlife
study. Collaborative Project Tim Collins and Reiko Goto. Creative
Time, N.Y. N.Y.
