Forest Tunes - The Library 1995 - 2008. After a thirteen year journey to record some of the imprint of humankind on the environment with leaves, stories, and photographs, the project is drawing to a close: 167 up-cycled boxes containing organic material from nineteen countries create the “black box.” She brought this exhibit to Philadelphia where she was part of Global Warming at the Icebox held in the Crane Arts building in the fall of 2008.
