Potential partnering with farmers, markets, community gardens, neighborhoods, scientists, public buildings, art centers and museum educational centers. One workshop at a time, or multiple combined as elements in a participatory installation.

 

The sustainability conference workshop offered participants projects at three stations to create works that were integrated into one installation. The installation was reassembled in a central location on campus for students to continue to interact with it. 

Projects at the sustainability conference in March 2014 include: the "Pollinator's Garden", creating oversized flowers using upcycled shirts and beeswax, containing messages about pesticides, "Sweet Talk in the Swarm" which celebrates our relationship with bees through language and poetry writing, and "Portrait Gallery of Endangered Fruits & Vegetables" which registers the effect of diminishing bee pollination by presenting images of fruits and vegetables at risk if bees disappear.

Materials include repurposed shirts, encaustic wax medium, rebar, honeysuckle sticks, twine, paper and ink.
