A two-story mural, of abstracted garden patterns and imagery in an empty exhibition space. Descending from the top right corner is a twisting flight of stairs. The first two-thirds of the mural, starting from the left, is mostly green and depicts a person standing in a field. As you move towards the right you see flowers in warm colors and a yellow butterfly. Then the green abruptly stops and a yellow scene begins with more flowers in different colors and a brown butterfly.

A four-sided set of blinds that take up the majority of an exhibition floor. The blinds are hanging from the ceiling and are raised to reveal a rectangular, red carpet embedded into the exhibition floor. Spread out on the carpet is a few fiber arts sculptures made of salvaged denim. Visitors of different ages are laying on and nestled into the sculptures. On the perimeter of the red carpet is a series of floor-to-ceiling curtains, made out of salvaged t-shirts stitched together.
