This work is part of a show The Space(s) Between is a multi-site and multi-project exhibition exploring how we experience the vastness of place and the iconic nature of the American west through contemporary art. It is a collaborative exhibition between the University of Denver’s Vicki Myhren Gallery and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs’ Galleries of Contemporary Art (GOCA).

Every act of creation is also an act of destruction. For this installation, I will constructed a bed of flowers and invited the viewer to lay on them. This work encourages a reimagining of our relationship with nature.” The artist wants to ask viewers how we make space for ourselves and while still leaving make space for nature?
