I SPY, Terraforming (2024) was created from the expansive collection of found natural objects the artist had compiled from years of practice. Its title references the I SPY children's book series from the early 90's that was photographed by Walter Wick and depicted fantastical scenes to explore and search for hidden objects. The piece in front of you was constructed as a low table, inviting its viewers back to the ground as they would have been in their childhood. Playing with scale, it isn't clear if the work is depicting a close up of a landscape or an entire planet. Known for her environmentalist work, the artist is inviting us to remain curious about our relations with the natural world and play with what could be.
