FULL CIRCLE MIRROR IMAGE
in collaboration with MAURICE SMALL & JOHNNY COLEMAN
spaces, JULY 2011

Food activist Maurice Small, artist Johnny Coleman and myself collaborated to create Full Circle Mirror Image as a living tribute to the full life cycle of one tenacious urban crop: collard greens.

Coleman and Small constructed a planter outside SPACES, building soil through continual sheet-mulching in order to grow a crop of collard greens.

​We held a community dinner where we both planted collards outside the gallery and cooked them inside, taking the time to share a locally-sourced meal and tell the sensory story of what good food can do to bring people together.
