The history, wildlife and bio-diversity of the south San Francisco Bay marshlands inspired this work. Its imagery encapsulates the history of habitation by plants, animals, and people, weaving together a narrative focusing on water as a resource to protect.

Dreams of the Salt Marsh  wraps around the exterior wall surrounding the Alviso Storm Water Pump Station in the South Bay area. It required over 2 tons of clay to create. The tiles, nearly 2500, are mostly 8” x 8”. The overall artwork is a series of narrative images based upon historic photos and wildlife sketches. The imagery also swirls in motifs of marshland and quilt-like patterns, somewhat like a series of dream sequences. It highlights the interrelationships between humans, plants, animals, and the topic of rising sea levels.
