Shifting Empires

Serigraphs, wallpaper

2018

This paper installation describes a non-linear history of Inwood Hill Park, focusing on native plants, wildlife and architecture.

Using decorative arts and floral patterns, this screenprinted installation invokes the excesses of the opulent minority. Visual harmony is created through the monochromatic color scheme while the maximalist pairing of collage with a profusion of patterns blurs the line between the familiar and unfamiliar. Alluring and uncanny, it hangs in the balance between a state of decay and emergent nature.
