LIVING SCULPTURES

 La Mancha’s Sequel: A Climate-Smart Urban Landscape.

 Sequel: A Climate-Smart Urban Landscape is a 6,500-square-foot social sculpture designed to holistically restore ecological balance in urban landscapes. This project is on the property of renowned international painter Terrell James and her environmental architect husband, Cameron Armstrong, specifically at their La Mancha artist studio in Acres Homes. In July 2024, I relocated my studio to this site at Terrell James's invitation, understanding that I would transform the garden space from a chemically dependent, traditional colonial landscape into a climate-smart living sculpture. La Mancha’s Sequel will model ecological restoration, blending art, architecture and literature with environmental responsibility for future generations.

Sequel is a leap of faith, a belief that humanity will get it right.

“This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath, the door of a vanished house left ajar.” — Margaret Atwood
