WinterSpace, 2009

A Lot got its start in 2009, when I turned my apartment into an artist space ("WinterSpace,") invited seven artists to make work about the view of a community garden, and organized a series of conversations. Since then, I've continued to orchestrate events with community gardeners and artists, place work by fellow artists in the gardens, and make my own work on this work.

Petra Valentova
For the 2010 exhibition at WinterSpace, Petra Valentova's Duck proposal hung on the walls but was too ambitious for A Lot's budget to realize. In 2012, she got a grant from the Queens Council on the Arts and this, in combination with a successful Kickstarter campaign, enabled her to produce her duck for the LIC Community Garden.

2012
Halfway through an exhibition I was in, at Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning - and after a discussion on Celine Condorelli's book, Support Structures - I removed a print of my own to make space for Michael Wilson's portrait of the Jamaica gardeners, that stayed up for remainder of exhibition.

The plan was for me to make a garden salad for Michael Wilson's opening, with vegetables from garden. However, most of the vegetables weren't ripe when the time came, and I produced a different kind of garden salad that is now a staple treat for events.
