This image shows a group of students participating in a project with the social practice project I founded in 2015 with a group of potters. Pots On Wheels is a not-for-profit educational outreach project focused on expanding opportunities in ceramics to those who do not have access, including both learning to work in clay, and exhibition opportunities. Together we've sponsored numerous free programs, as well as major exhibitions on important topics. Our exhibition for 2026 is called the POW! Protest Cup Fellowship and will be featured at NCECA in Detroit.

This thesis presents gardening, picking food and eating as enjoyable steps towards the reclamation of the food system.

Participants select and harvest food from the tile based vertical garden + then prepare the items together at the preparation station, talking about the food before us and food in general. Lastly, the participant will choose a plate and sit to dine. These steps are such as to implicate the viewer in a seasonal garden landscape, the labour and bodily engagement of cooking, and a community connection in eating.

Plants, soils and seeds have been dug up from UF Organic Garden Co-Op, Field and Fork Farm and Gardens ,Swallowtail Farm, Alachua County Feed & Seed, Forage Farm and my home garden.

Exhibition, 2018

The source material for these compositions has been continuously accumulated through Florida living.

 

In Florida plants persist. These are specific species, from particular places. They are researched passionately and rigorously whether native flora, innocuous, invasive imports demanding space, plants that make you ill or plants that offer remedy. Rather than translating the specific, the tile is meant to be plant-like, expressive, a reminder that man is not apart from, but a part of nature. These pieces are conduits through which you may feel that exponential growth is possible.
