Gardening the elements in a landscape of technology

Gardening the Elements in a Landscape of Technology discusses three multisensory environmental sculptures: Wave Garden, Eyes of the Wind, and Thermal Delight. Each of these installations explores the relationship between people, nature and technology. It is my thesis that technology can be used to enhance the intimacy of our experiences with natural phenomena. Each of these interactive sculptures is inspired by my encounters with common natural phenomena. The form, materials and choice of technology which comprise these environmental sculptures are guided by the quality of sensory experience inherent in the phenomena which they explore.
