Fall of 2016 I have been invited to participate in Wilderness Act 2016, a land art installation.

Lenora Curtin Wetlands is the location. This beautiful wetland is just south of Santa Fe and is part of the Santa Fe botanic gardens. A fine respite in the desert.


"Untitled (Anitya series)" will be a grid of 9 'grass books' made from un-fired red terracotta clay gathered from our property in northern New Mexico. I made the book's paper pages from native grasses. The books are bound with grasses.  

Anitya is a Sanskrit word for "impermanence". The first Anitya installation was in 2009.

The books will dissolve back into the earth over time.
