Habitat Destruction Paper, styrofoam, wire 30"x 12" 2010
	Habitat Destruction was created as a comment on Chicago's transient pop-up gallery scene and was exhibited in a soon-to-be-demolished space that was filled with people and art for a few weeks before it hit the wrecking ball. The piece not only reflects on the transient nature of the building and the ephemeral art spaces within the city, but also speaks to the wider disappearance of the natural landscape. Participants were invited to "pick" one of hundreds of origami flowers from the sculpture. Throughout the exhibit, the sculpture was demolished, the landscape laid bare by the audience, leaving the bird perched on ruins. However, each participant took with them a piece of the original. There is no true destruction, only reimagining.
