Hands On the Land:
Climate Stories from Central Oregon

40 hands and 40 stories will be an interactive installation with my composer/sound design collaborator, Mei-ling Lee. During my residencies at Pine Meadow Ranch in Central Oregon in 2022 and 2023, I casted the hands of more than 40 residents in and around Sisters and listened to their stories of coping with the physical, economic and emotional impacts of climate change wrought by drought, wildfire, smoke, water crises and more. 

​

The interactive installation of 40 hands + 40 stories are scheduled for exhibition at: Lane Community College, Eugene, OR (Nov 6 - Dec 11, 2025); Umpqua Valley Arts, Roseburg, OR (Jan - March 2026); and Scalehouse Collaborative for the Arts, Bend, OR (summer 2026).
