Louis Cook, Amy Lang, Donovan Preddy and I will be displaying a fascinating collection of miniature ecosystems living inside glass terrariums. Finding beauty in the oft overlooked flora growing in urban spaces, we create new environments for mosses, ferns and other natural wonders. Gathered responsibly from cracks in the sidewalk and otherwise neglected local climes, our terrariums inspire further study and enjoyment of plant life thriving in unexpected places.
