From the project Greenfield, the reseeding of suburban lawn with an experimental field of grasses and plants native to the midwestern plains of North America. It deliberates the culling of non-native, invasive, but naturalized species from the evolving meadow vs. allowing them to compete with the natives insinuated into this reformation attempt. Part of the project includes photomicrosopic and macroscopic documentation of the explanted and volunteer arrivals to the field, to portray the array of life striving to make a home in this newly disturbed ground.
