Two decades later, the greenhouse still calls to me.  In 2005, after moving to The Netherlands, I found inspiration at the site during a creative slump. I spent a year photographing the greenhouse as nature reclaimed it, creating mixed media works from my images and materials salvaged from the site. Revisiting these works reignited my connection to the project and inspired new ceramic work, born not from frustration, but propagated from my experience abroad—optimistic, like reconnecting with an old friend and the return of spring.
