Hydrologies Archaea involved collecting gallons of super saline water from the Great Salt Lake near Spiral Jetty and installing the water in an array of glassware at UMOCA two months prior to the opening of the exhibition. As the water evaporates, the salt crystals move over the edge of the glasses and down the sides, enveloping the vessels in a thick layer of salt that continues to spread out onto all the adjacent surfaces. Like the calcified remains of pottery found in caves after thousands of years, the glass installation appears to have undergone a similar geologic process in a fraction of the time. With both of these projects my intention was to engage the material agency of an ecological system and its geologic and cultural history.   >> complete statement
