Commission for the Brooklyn Public Library's New Branch

Inspired by Swale, a floating food forest, the Brooklyn Public Library was interested in commissioning a large rug for their children's area.

I was able to work with Barbara Barran and her company Classic Rug Collection to design and produce this rug for the new library. This preceded a sculpture curated by Cora Fisher at the Brooklyn Public Library's main branch. I was able to work with Cora and the library as their Artist-in-Residence in 2021: Artforum article
