Alex Wolkowicz, an interdisciplinary artist from New York, arrived at Habitable Spaces in February 2019 to begin her longterm project for the farm’s future sculpture park. In this visit, she created a permanent art piece that now lives under our grow roof and participated in a group art show in downtown Kingsbury. Alex surveyed the land tol place her site-specific sculptures on and define the scope of her project. Alex came to engage with the land and develop an ongoing relationship with it, as well as its inhabitants. Her project is inspired by the theme of listening – to the earth, to one’s deeper self – and she constructed large clay vessels, or hearing devices, to place onto the land. The pieces were sculpted with the help of the community during a visit in Spring 2018. The installation also incorporates bronze musical instruments of her own creation that were suspended from the trees that surround the site. The completed piece was inaugurated with a ritualistic performance by Cave Collective, of which she is a founding member.
