In the summer of 2021, Faith Williams Dyrsten spent two weeks observing field research at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory. In response to this experience, she created a series of kinetic installations that combined moving gears and illustrations of scientific factors. This work aims to consider what we know about plant-pollinator relationships and what we are still searching to understand.
Special thank you to Dr. David Inouye, Dr. Becky Irwin, and the scientists at Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic Colorado.
