Scorched Earth
“Scorched Earth” is a thought-provoking installation reproducing the aftermath of a destructive mega-fire. Skirting a raised bed of Yakisugi treated black locust, visitors walk a perimeter holding 50 yards of soil, 50 scorched trees, swirls of ash and charred forest debris. The seemingly lifeless tableau gives art lovers the opportunity to process the terrible beauty of BAD FIRE, and the potential for “GOOD FIRE.” Scorched Earth exposes climate and capitalism as the primary drivers of increasingly frequent and ferocious mega-fires (Bad Fire), while honoring ecologically grounded Native American practices (Good Fire) that sustained healthy forests before European colonization. As the Hudson Valley experiences unprecedented impacts of the Canadian wildfires, Scorched Earth urges reflection on our modern lifestyle and offers a path towards a more sustainable future.

Earth-Moon-Earth Communication (Moon Bounce)
Earth-Moon-Earth Communication (Moon Bounce) is a performative installation that signals the daily moon phase and peak altitude to passersby. Each morning the host will raise the day's corresponding flag to the height on the flagpole marking the state of the moon for that day. This process will repeat for the duration of the Terrain Biennial.

Napkin Reverie
“Napkin Reveries” is inspired by the artist’s experiences working in the banquet industry. During an event, unconsumed beverages are thrown into buckets alongside cocktail napkins and the napkin fibers swirl around in a liquid mass. In this installation a variety of wet paper pulps were used to cover glass serving plates, allowing the paper to take on the plates’ textures. Contrasting the industrialization of paper and its diminishing personal uses, it is emblematic of unseen interactions between guests and service staff. The installation prompts contemplation on class divisions, consumption and labor while showcasing paper as an artistic medium.

Shrink Wall .001
Shrink Wall .001 is McMahon’s first exploration into the vernacular of tiling and tessellation. Through a relatively simplistic method of making forms and molds the inherent qualities of the chosen materials are showcased to create a unique large-scale wall cladding.
Boat shrink wrap, a material often used to protect boats in the winter, is utilized in this work as a way to create a form/mold for casting plaster. Bent steel is formed to make a three-dimensional outline in space and the shrink wrap is then patterned, skinned, and then shrunk around the metal form. Applying heat with a big torch the plastic skin becomes taught and creates a complex curve around the bent armature. Each form is then cast in plaster to create the repeating forms that are hung on the exterior wall of wireworks.

Blue Brack Water, Newburgh Bay
Niki Lederer’s found-object sculptures are made from repurposed plastic. She works in the additive process, cleaning and dissecting the reclaimed bottles, removing all product-branding and then reconfiguring the bottles into sculptures.
Blue Brack Water, Newburgh Bay, takes its title from the slightly salty mixture of fresh and sea-water found in Newburgh Bay on the Hudson River. Lederer explores the theme of reusing discarded material collected on her daily travels to and from work, the studio and back home. Lederer is car-free and travels by foot, public transit and bicycle, making the opportunities to harvest source material vast and plentiful.
Each item gathered holds potential as sculpture material. In keeping with her low-carbon philosophy, she is deeply committed to creating new work from previously used materials.

A Few Screws Loose
Made with salvaged scrap wood and Muhheakunnuk or “Hudson River” driftwood, “A Few Screws Loose” is a sculpture built to raise awareness around mental health. Whether it’s the poisoning of Mother Earth’s hands that feed us, superiority in all its hateful forms, or the iGreed OS that dominates modern Western culture, psychosis pervades.
Creative expression can not only be an antidote for mental health imbalances, it’s our birthright. We’re all born artists. This piece symbolizes an intentional step in integrating art more into my life, and encouraging others to make more art too. What is your soul longing to create?
