Elaine L. Jacob Gallery, Wayne State University, Detroit,
MI, 1998
This installation was part of my exhibition entitled Land
of Golgotha at Wayne State University, in Detroit, MI. It
looked critically at the issue of urban sprawl onto prime farmland
in southeastern Michigan. Using the needles of Eastern
White Pine, a tree that once covered more than two-thirds of
Michigan's Lower Peninsula, I created a 15' circular bed of
pine needles that was six inches deep; hanging from the gallery's
ceiling into the center of the bed was a deer skull.
