PORTFOLIO > wave hill

I was fortunate enough to have been selected as an artist in residence at Wave Hill's 2013 Winter Workspace Program.
During this time I used materials found around Wave Hill's property including their beehives and conservatory. I also scavenged along the nearby shoreline of the Hudson River as well as Metro-North's train tracks which run directly next to the Hudson at Riverdale.

Salvaged wood, metal & bone from Wave Hill property, nearby Hudson River bank and railway tracks. Beeswax from Wave Hills hives.
