Subterra

Cement, earth, scaffolding, pumps, timers, hose, aluminum trays, Socrates Sculpture Park , Queens New York
30 ft x 10ft x 12 ft

‍
Subterra was a commissioned installation for a show at Socrates Sculpture park about deep time. The piece explores time as it is manifested by the invisible flow of water through earth’s circulatory system. Subterra involved excavating sections of earth and elevating them within a tiered scaffolding structure that collects and recycles rainwater. As water passes through the layers of soil, sediment, sand and clay, it is slowly filtered, eventually draining out over irregular shaped concrete columns, stacked vertically to form a network of exposed drains. Over the course of the summer, this repeated irrigation acted like a slow fountain, staining the concrete structures an earthy patina as wild flowers bloomed.
