A soil profile in scientific research is a vertical section of the subsurface to study and classify the layers or horizons that form over time. A deep hole is dug to allow researchers to see the composition below the ground and produce its profile. Each horizon is a distinct layer that has different physical, biological and chemical properties than adjacent ones. The distinctions are visually obvious because of texture and color differences.

Soil profiles can be appreciated on an aesthetic level. When they are exposed they can be breathtakingly beautiful. Being inside a soil profile ravine affects people differently; it can be calming, energizing and sometimes transformative. Some people have attributed this to being six feet underground (or at burial depth) and others speak to being immersed in a biochemical field of microbial activity.


	With Site Profile Flags, I am expanding the notion of a soil profile and visually representing the layers both above and below ground. I am transferring the physical, biological and chemical properties of the layers (e.g. plant, rock, soil, microbe, human) onto fabric through dye-making. The resulting flag marks the site and is a symbol for the interactions between the layers or ecosystem parts that are often symbiotic or mutualist. The flag is a bioregional representation rather than geopolitical.

In 2020-21, I installed Site Profile Flag #4 at Unison Arts in New Paltz, NY. Here is a short audio piece explaining the work and process of making it.

Here is a Hyperallergic review of the Unison exhibit “Owning Earth” with mention of Site Profile Flag #4.

	Carbon Sponge is a collective research practice and interdisciplinary collaboration between artists, farmers, scientists, agroecologist, educators and the public to learn from soil and rethink our relationship to it. 
 Since 2018, we have been stewarding land to grow and retain carbon in the soil for the benefit of microbes, plants, people and climate.&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; I initiated the project while a Designer-in-Residence at the New York Hall of Science in Queens, NY, in 2018.
&#38;nbsp;

Locations:
Carbon Sponge launched at the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) in Queens in 2018 and ran through 2019. A second Carbon Sponge garden was planted in Spring/Summer 2019 at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn. In 2020, we partnered with five organizations in NYC (Bronx River Alliance’s Foodway, GrowNYC’s Teaching Garden on Governors’ Island, Red Hook Farms and Prospect Farms) to pilot our kit, forming a group of land stewards to discuss urban carbon farming. In 2021, we additionally partnered with New York University’s Urban Farm Lab and two farms in Upstate NY Sugarshack Mushrooms and White Feather Farm. In 2022, we started the Carbon Sponge Hub at White Feather Farm and in 2023 the hub grew to 10 farms in the Hudson Valley and Catskills regions. In 2024, with funding from Northeast SARE and the Spark of Hudson, we are verifying our kit with Carey Institute and expanding our total grow space across 5 farms in the Hudson Valley. In 2023 we established an in-the-ground, controlled/replicated study at White Feather Farm that will span several years.&#38;nbsp;

	Credits:Collaborators include Dr. Sara Perl Egendorf, Dr. Peter Groffman, Dr. Maha Deeb, Marisa Prefer, Corey Tegeler and Katharhy Flores. Partnerships include: White Feather Farm, CUNY Advanced Scientific Research Center (ASRC), the Jacob Riis Settlement House at NYCHA Ravenswood, NYC Mayor’s Office of Environmental Remediation (OER) and La Casita Verde (a NYC GreenThumb garden). Funders have included Northeast SARE, The Spark of Hudson, NYSCI, Patagonia, Brooklyn Arts Council, Globetrotter Foundation and ASRC.

Unison (the book) is a result of my research at Unison Arts in New Paltz, NY, in summer 2020 as I planned for the construction of Site Profile Flag #4.&#38;nbsp;

Initially, I invited a handful of people to walk the grounds of the sculpture park to read the landscape with me. Each conversation led to another conversation, unfolding over the course of several weeks.&#38;nbsp;

The final form of the book takes inspiration from the tradition of deep mapping, or intensive exploration of place as developed by William Least Heat-Moon, among others.&#38;nbsp;


	Unison is a small run, artist book in an edition of 90 published by Eureka! Press in Kingston, NY.

Download a pdf of the book here.&#38;nbsp;

The book is a collaboration with Michael Asbill, Stuart Bigly, Salvatore Engel-Dimauro, Katie Grove, Amanda Heidel, Nance Klehm, Laurel Mutti, Peter Pitzele, Steven Schimmrich, Connor Stedman. Preface by Tal Beery. Drawings by Rachel Meirs. Cover Impression by Invisible Hand Press. Photography by Brooke Singer. Color correction by Yong Kim.

La Casita Verde is a community garden &#38;amp; living laboratory in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, established in 2013. As one of the founding members, I have helped transform this derelict lot that was empty for over 40 years into a green space for people in the neighborhood and beyond to participate in the soil food web. It took us a year to just clear out the garbage and create a solid soil foundation. Our initial focus was composting;&#38;nbsp; you can’t grow healthy food without healthy soil.


	One of the first major projects I led at LCV was the design and build of a solar powered Aerated Static Pile (ASP) composter that speeds up the composting process and reduces labor.&#38;nbsp; I am interested in community-driven innovation that aims to rehabilitate damaged ecosystems and increase resiliency in the face of climate change.
Watch a short video about La Casita Verde.

Toxic Sites launched in 2015. For this project I revisited and expanded my earlier work, Superfund365.org (2007). Both are online data visualizations and sharing platforms focused on the issue of Superfund, or the worst toxic sites in the US as designated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Toxic Sites, unlike Superfund365, includes all Superfund sites on the National Priorities List; the current total is more than 1300. Both versions aim to engage people in public information and encourage participation. The visualizations bring together data from the EPA, Agency for Toxic Disease Registry, US Census among others and individuals can attach their stories and media to the official narratives.


	Superfund365 was commissioned by Turbulence.org. Toxic Sites was funded by the Open Society Foundations’ Documentary Photography Project.

Excedentes (or Excess) was a commission of Matadero Center for Contemporary Art in Madrid, Spain, for a program called El Ranchito. This project was a collaboration between Jose Luis Bongore (ES), Beatriz Marcos (ES), Ricardo Miranda (US) and myself. Matadero invited us to create a socially engaged artwork in a public studio environment over a six month period in 2011.

Our project addressed the economic downturn and the increase in “dumpster diving” or rescuing food from the garbage occurring in Madrid. Eating food from the trash was deeply humiliating for many and we wanted to design a more humane system. In the end, we built a mobile cart that transformed into a display unit. At the close of a business day, we would fill the cart with food that grocers could not sell and was destined for the trash, but was still edible.&#38;nbsp; Then we would wheel the cart to a public space, transform it into a display unit and leave it with empty shopping bags for anyone to take.


	On our return to Brooklyn, Ricardo and I designed a second version, ExcessNYC, for New York City. ExcessNYC was a cargo bike with a “bodega style” food display and storage unit in the front. In the back it had a pedal-powered compost tumbler. We collected edible food from small groceries to redistribute like in Madrid, but we also accepted inedible food for compost. 

Eventually we established a compost garden in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and processed over a ton of organic waste in nine months. The project is documented in this short video.

Sites Unseen is a photography series started in 2009. After visiting many Superfund sites (or the worst toxic sites as designated by the US Environmental Protection Agency), I was surprised by how banal and often imperceptible most of them were. The disconnect between what I was researching and seeing was jarring.&#38;nbsp;

	The photographs capture the extreme ordinariness of the locations (they are everywhere). Some are rendered invisible through their neglect. Others have all but erased their Superfund status through new uses over time. The project is an alternative history to the United States. It traces the development and confluence of industry, land use, ecology and environmental health over time.

In 2006, I was asked to contribute to the book “The Atlas of Radical Cartography,” Eds. Lize Mogel and Alexis Bhagat. “An Atlas of Radical Cartography” is a collection of 10 maps and 10 essays about social issues from globalization to garbage; surveillance to extraordinary rendition; statelessness to visibility; deportation to migration. The map is inherently political and the contributions to this book wear their politics on their sleeves.
	My contribution to “The Atlas” is a map is titled “US Oil Fix” and it is a look at the world through the lens of US oil consumption.

I designed Chemically Modified Organisms (CMOs) in 2009 as part of a platform I called “Undoing.” In this image, I cataloged in the form of a periodic table a range of species that have been altered or in some way impacted by human reliance on commercial chemicals.

The Counter Kitchen was a R&#38;amp;D/live performance lab for reverse engineering everyday products, like Johnson’s Baby Lotion, Breyer’s Ice Cream and Gatorade. The labels we easily recognize, but the ingredients not very well. After we took the products apart, we put them back together with the help of many friends and experts.

	
TCK was a collaboration with Stefani Bardin from 2010-2011 at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center in New York City.
