Summer Wind Before Rain was filmed at Storm King Art Center in 2017 during my residency. It aims to situate the body and creation within the wilderness. I collected clay and plants from a nearby river as materials for a sculpture. I recorded the process of creating a bust for a gardener at the Art Center with corn silk for the gardener's mustache. The video captures the preparation for the final sculpture against the natural backdrop, a reminder of how we control and are controlled by nature.
