I am currently in residence at the Andes Sprouts Society artist's program in Stamford, New York. the goal of my residency is to combine science, art, and sustainable farming. I am working with compost worms to learn the movement, interactions, and ecology of this amazing animals. As an artist in residence I am creating paintings in collaboration with the worms. This detail, from a picture that is 11x14 inches, is an example of the work. I hope you enjoy it.
Please join me in my blog “Scientist/Artist: Experimenting, Reflecting, Creating.”
wooden compost bin, untreated cedar, with ample slots for aeration and small hatch at base for removal of finished compost
Found this fly in a compost bin - funny where you look for insects when there are none flying around. It didn't seem very active and kept on preening, so was pretty easy to photograph.
Erica Jane Meier, agriculture education graduate, records temperature data from a compost mound on Mueller farm.
I have a confession to make:
I often catch myself admiring the beauty of a bowl of compost on its way out to the bin. In late March, I found myself with lots of fresh flowers heading out to compost, and I couldn't help but photograph them along the way. Forgive me.

100 billion items of clothing are produced each year, three out of five fast fashion garments end up in a landfill within a year of purchase after being worn only an average of 7 times.
We urgently need a drastic change in our collective mindset and consumption habits. This speculative project looks at an unconventional intervention–designing clothes that are appropriate for this amount of wear: compostable clothes. These pieces are made of fortified paper, last 1-7 wears, and embrace their disposability. They are backyard compostable and can be broken down in 3-8 weeks depending on composting conditions.
