I'm an artist, independent curator, and educator with an interest in landscape and the politics of geography.  My home is in Houston, Texas.  I run an outdoor project space in the city called RoadsignUSA, less commerce, more art, where visual artists work site-sensitively to connect with the community in unanticipated ways.  This website documents my environmental and behavioral interventions and installations.   I took this snapshot of a peculiar Texas custom we have here when the weather gets cold. Freezing temperatures don't threaten very often, but when they do, well tended, domestic plants are wrapped in plastic outdoors to keep them warm.
