“If there is a post-Anthropocene worth living in, those who live in it will need different stories, with no entity at the center of the stage." -  Isabelle Stengers

All That Was Bright addresses human influence on the world, imagining alternative stories with playfulness and humor undergirded by a deep awareness of loss and precarity. Relationships in the natural world are recontextualized and re-envisioned through sculpture, interactive installation, and fiber art. The gallery becomes a timeless space as the human form is delocalized, sidestepped, and steeped in animism and folklore.

We capture, cultivate, and consume life to benefit only a few people, creatures, species. Every drop of water that exists on Earth has been here passing though millions of lives along the way. Each leaf you see is just a leaf but the water and the very elements that makeup its cells have lived before in something else. Humans are selecting what species will survive by their monetary value. If it is to survive our dominating culture it had better be of use to us. And where will the ghosts go once the leaves are eaten by the plague that is us? The global urban environment is thriving taking more landmass everyday. It is jam packed, full of invasive species from around the world.

I offer you these cocoons to either sit or stand in and metamorphose from the caterpillar to the pollinating butterfly. In order for a real caterpillar to grow up and become a butterfly it completely liquefies in its cocoon and the cells reassemble themselves into a new. What would it take to better coexist?
