Community Exhibition of Regenerative Creativity: Opening Exhibition Celebration

I am thrilled to be showing a piece as part of Gifting Grove’s Community Exhibition of Regenerative Creativity in September 2026. The exhibition is located at True North Studio in Uptown Minneapolis and will feature an opening celebration on Friday, September 11. Swing by for a celebration of natural and regenerative materials from September 11–27, Wednesday – Sunday; 10am – 2pm. Here are the details of the piece I will be showing!

Title: Stock

Materials: Hand-recycled paper, food-based dye, flour-based papier mâché paste, and real dried herbs on a wooden cutting board

Year: 2026

This piece celebrates impermanence and transformational re-use in both material and subject. The piece depicts food scraps often saved to make a vegetable stock (onion ends, mushroom stalks, and extra herbs), arranged as the focus rather than the afterthought of the creative process. And just like the food scraps it represents, this piece can be broken down and reincorporated into the ingredients of a new creation with the addition of hot water.
