exhibits & events

The Ghost Net Landscape evolves with each presentation, transforming to fit the needs of the space, time, and community where it is exhibited. I'm currently seeking partnerships to travel the project to new locations around the world. I'm excited to work with venues, funders, and local cultural and industry groups to connect and learn from new communities! Contact me to learn more about bringing the Ghost Net Landscape to your community.
