Collaborative Installations

I found a kindred spirit in artist Robin Croft.  We  collaborate well together on outdoor, site specific installations where combined effort allows us to undertake large projects and share ideas.  As these ephemeral works have a brief lifespan, we document their progress with photography and videos.  Whether working on individual or collaborative concepts, our methodology shares a respect for the environment and a concern for the human condition.
