LOCAL HOMES
Local Homes
Acrylic, hardware, local soils, mosses and plants from bog, woodland and ravine ecosystems.
Chicago Botanic Garden, Chicago, IL
​
Created in collaboration with botanist Pati Vitt from Chicago Botanic Garden, three “personal biospheres” hang in the space. Each represents a specific local ecology: a bog, a ravine, and a woodland. Plant lists and botanical interpretation provide another layer of engagement, as people place their heads inside the structures for a close-up, immersive sensory experience of plants.
