Trashquilt

On February 15, 2016, I read this photo caption in the New York Times “Recology, San Francisco’s main recycling plant collects 100 tons of cardboard every day.” I had already started collecting plastic, cardboard, and wax paper that surrounds the food which I buy at the grocery store. We shop online and I am surrounded by packaging. How do I dispose of this? Which bin? Everything is sorted by material here.

I started making drawings (rubbings) with my trash collection and was thinking about submitting my artwork to Franconia Sculpture Park‘s 20th anniversary alumni exhibition in Minneapolis, MN. I began to draw a lot, and in February made this book to send to the park. The Trashquilt evolved from this work.

This series of cast iron sculptures was intended to be a series of 17 sculptures and was from a dream vision. In the dream, there were a series of cast iron furnaces that were overflowing with iron. It was an all women iron pour. The sculptures came out of the furnace fully formed. To date I have completed 11 of these sculptures.

Immersion was a 2010 sound installation of a hexagon-shaped room with speakers built into the walls and sand on the floor. Layers of text from dreams with water (in any form) were layered with music and collected sounds.

A 2009 Art shanty project, this was an experiment in whether our guests could generate enough electricity using pedal power to boil water and make coffee in an ice house on the a frozen lake. I collaborated with my siblings Veronica and Colin Glidden and for 5 weekends (+Weds.) we were on Medicine Lake making coffee. We received a grant from the Art Shanty Projects, and our friends supported the project with materials and cash. We invited musicians to play. You can see and read more on the original blog.
