Pretty/Ugly, Flux Factory, Long Island City, NY / 2018

Site-Specific Installation

Soil, plants, fungi, worms, found objects

The “Pretty/Ugly” installation represented a section of landfill where domestic objects were taken over by weeds, fungi, and worms. The intention was to highlight species either stigmatized or perceived as non-aesthetic despite their essential roles in our ecosystem. It supported an educational public talk on fungi functions.
