This project has been underway since 2020 and was just completed on  June 7, 2026. I am working from my home studio after acquiring a plasma cutter, flux core welder, English wheel, and other basic tools.

In a time of climate and environmental refugee crises, I would like to create a monument to milkweed and to monarch butterflies, important ecological contributors and well-known annual migrants. The sculpture serves as a metaphorical welcome to immigrants, butterfly or human.
