Precarious Habitats

Precarious Habitats explores the multi-fold meanings of thresholds, borders, and fences both natural and man-made, the liminal space that exists between them, as well as implying divisions between, the rich and the poor, developed and underdeveloped, the rich north and the global south, and many others.  Rooted in the ancestral practice of scavenging and salvaging, combining a hard heavy object, next to a light, supple piece of fabric, tying it, stitching it, using ropes and nets to wrap it together, imbuing the pieces with a sense of fragility. Pieces also appear like real life-size constructions that suggest walls and separations, barriers or shelters.
