Artistic Statement
Agritecture is the fusion of crop growth and indoor space. Whimsically functional yet serious hydroponic plant growth systems begin simply and then evolve and adapt to new situations. I see art making a collaborative event since each work must be nurtured, empowering the community and promoting the message to be more accountable for our limited natural resources.
