Selections from GIANTS IN THE EARTH, 2011-2015 | Photographic series, archive of grass seed

This project began as a growing archive of live grass and a series of photographs documenting our horizontal tributes at the burial sites of people who have contributed to our cultural inheritance in indirect ways. Over a number of years, we traveled to cemeteries on both coasts of the United States to visit the graves of artists, poets, novelists, thinkers, oddballs and inventors like: Piet Mondrian, Hannah Wilke, Wallace & Elsie Stevens, Buckminster Fuller, Winslow Homer, e.e. cummings, Joseph & Anni Albers, Anne Sexton and more. Below is a selection of some of the photographs. This work was exhibited in the garden of one of our parents' homes in Connecticut and as a part of the Portland Biennial in 2012.
