Bigger Darby is a land-use proposal for the 84 square mile territory governed by Big Darby Accord in Central Ohio. The project is an alternative, landscape-based approach to contemporary watershed planning that enhances the vernacular landscapes of the Big Darby region, improves the health of the watershed, and provides new development opportunities.
Beta Laydown is a site work articulating surplus capacity within a mineral reclamation system. In Beta, the reciprocity between slow, geological processes of evaporation mining is linked to the exceptional velocities of land-speed trials.
The Salt Mountain Disturbance, exhibited at Artisterium in Tbilisi, drew from field research on the vegetation and substrates of a salt stockpile site in Columbus. Through subtle grading changes and vegetation management, Salt Mountain converts what was a hazardous surplus—road salt—and channels it into a striking urban landscape of mineral gradients and salt-tolerant ruderal species.
