Broken Homes Installations

This series of public sculpture interventions placed large models of houses were created mainly out of foraged materials sourced from demolished structures. They were re-introduced into various industrial landscapes in Jersey City, inhabiting environments that have been sitting vacant. The original buildings that once resided upon the land were torn down years ago to make way for luxury housing, none which had yet to be realized.
