Disappearances is inspired by time spent in the rainforests of Costa Rica, an awareness of climate change and the substantial diminishing numbers of birds, butterflies and other wildlife in a place widely known for eco-preservation. In this installation I have responded to personal experience hiking, zip-lining, boating, driving through and flying over this bio-diverse beautiful and rugged land of volcanos, mountains, rainforests, sea and ocean. Some of the materials used have been deconstructed and altered as I processed an understanding of the precarious nature of the rainforest, of maintaining an eco-balance, and the effects of the human footprint.
