rancho herbarium

the naturalist’s desk: Rancho Herbarium   Mixed media installation that immerses the visitor in the urban landscape of the Rancho Equestrian Neighborhood in Burbank where I live/work.

Plant material salvaged from the sidewalk and front yard of my studio curls and decays but still, it retains a certain beauty. Mirror of a changing Earth. Homage to our hunter/gatherer ancestors. 

Installation created for Fuzzy Taxonomy, a group show curated by John David O’Brien at El Camino College Art Gallery, Torrance, CA, 2026.
