Normalia (Incubator)
2017
Digital Photograph
15 x 26"

This is a still photograph documenting the Normalia one-time performance. This photograph shows "the incubator" bubble, which is an installation of 72 adobe bricks made from foraged clay from the San Gabriel Mountains. Legumes are embedded and growing in the surface of the bricks. They are displayed on twelve steel shelves, equipped with a drip irrigation system and six heat lamps. The installation is accompanied by a soundscape of dripping water and natural life.
