I created pieces for the upcoming exhibit "Threads of Change" at MODAtl, collaborating with artist Adrian Baker's participating work “Net-Work,” opening on February 8 - May 25, 2025. “Net-Work” by Adrian Baker – symbolizes the underground mycorrhizal networks that help trees communicate. I prepared strands from repurposed textiles, collected from old clothes, bedding, table linens, and window coverings, which I have tied, braided, and hung together.

These are my personal photos of the project, since I didn’t have time to get them professionally done.

I made several pieces before I left for the drive to Knoxville, through the Smoky Mountains, and continued making pieces while in hotels during my residency in my South Porch Artist Residency in Summerville, SC, right up until I sent them to the museum in Atlanta on January 25.

This is my third piece for this artist; the first was in Berlin in 2021, the second in Ottawa, Canada, in 2024, and now in Atlanta at the Museum of Design Atlanta, opening on February 6, 2025.

As the list of participants continues to grow, this collaborative creation symbolizing the underground bond between trees also speaks of our own inexorable connection to nature and to each other, the underlying message in much of Adrian’s artwork.
