of death, I will fear no evil

Light Year 67: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil” serves as a celebration and reminder
to all of the beauty of life as a human being on this rock spinning around the
sun. In a recent talk at TEDx San Francisco, Mel Robbins mentioned
that scientists estimate the probability of your being born at about one
in 400 trillion, so each and every one of us are special.

These are dark times for us all, some more than others, and to stop
and reflect on the beauty of our world is needed more than ever.  The LIGHT YEAR program is presented on the Manhattan Bridge in the
streets of Dumbo, Brooklyn.

Exhibition date: November 5, 2020

2014-present/ongoing

Aquascaping the Anthropocene” creates a visual montage illustrating
the resiliency of the coral reef,  its relationship to plastics, and
a possible “optimistic future view of a post human; plasticized Ocean, in which
a hybrid symbiotic relationship between the coral and the plastic
gyre occurs.”

 The composition consists of video documentation of a living coral
sculpture made of reclaimed plastic and fiber optics composited with
other videos of living coral colonies, underwater lighting, plastic
sculptures, and video projection mapping.
