Nickie Lewis

School Year: 23-24

I create sculptures from organic materials such as sticks, moss, and Ivy. These sculptures are intended to be left outside to decompose and be consumed by the surrounding ecosystem. This is a multi-month(1 semester) classroom residency would include planning, gathering materials for and completing a large-scale eco-sculpture on school grounds. This project would ideally incorporate the lesson plans for a science class and become an outdoor science experiment that students could create hypothesis for, monitor over time, and draw conclusions from thier findings.
