Housing Rights
Housing Rights is an outdoor installation for the Terrain Biennial in Newburgh, NY, addressing the urgent crisis of housing in America. The piece takes the form of a house-like structure, with panels bearing phrases such as “Everyone Deserves a House” and “Safe Homes.” Some panels are made of plastic, while others are mirrored, reflecting the surrounding environment and the viewer—inviting personal reflection on the issue. Placed in a homeowner’s yard, the work becomes both a public statement and a neighborhood conversation starter, urging us to consider housing as a fundamental human right and the inequities that leave so many without it.

i’m trying to rewrite what happened before
i'm trying to rewrite what happened before is a meditation on undoing, the passage of time, and the fine edge between meaning and non-meaning. Over the course of Terrain Biennial 2025, the words on this quilt will, one by one, be undone, leaving new sentences, and perhaps meanings, or non-meanings, to be experienced by passersby. The quilt, comprised of found, upcycled materials built to weather the elements, is stitched in a nine-patch pattern of mostly blue hues. The nine-patch pattern was used primarily during the early 19th century as a utility quilt, and eventually became known for being “lower class.”

The Young & the Weedy
When I walk past a yard that has been allowed to grow wild, it’s like I see that space through anthropomorphism-goggles. The inner lives of the weeds—the interlopers, the stalwart locals, the volunteers—become amplified. Resource competition, seasonal die-back, the literal throwing of shade—all this and more unfolds in this fenced-in slice of wilderness. The Young and the Weedy is my invitation to step into this world through the magic portal of a house-sized romance comic.

Double Digit Triptych
In my recent work, sculptures take the form of bold flags. In keeping with my low-carbon philosophy my artwork explores themes of recycling, repurposing, overconsumption and the vocabulary of public political display by showcasing and celebrating materials that others discard as cast-offs. I source all fabric used to create these textile pieces from umbrellas harvested from curbside recycling, garbage cans and the streets of NYC. The flags, banners and pennants I create reveal their past life, demise and ultimate rebirth. Combining cast-off material, with the emotional content inherent in flag display creates an artistic expression uniting function, aesthetics and form.

FireSail
The sculpture resembles sails attached to a mast in connection with the rich maritime history of cities along the Hudson River such as Newburgh. Shipping and maritime commerce move goods between different people and places while at the same time moving culture, science, and ideas along with it. This shared tradition of moving and mixing is at the heart of our civilization, at the heart of our sense of curiosity, of self and is critical to a time when we’re all trying to regain some stability in our lives

Judy Thomas
Curly Q
Using simple industrial materials like PEX, vinyl, and hosiery, Thomas creates work that activates the senses. Colorful tendril-like forms unfurl and intertwine in a weird curvilinear space, suggesting a Dr. Seussian world of ribbons or musical notes. The play of light and shadow, real and implied volume and high key color that Thomas practices in her work evokes a sense of whimsy and wonder that speaks to all generations. Underlying the playful nature of Thomas’ work is an investigation into the formal elements of color, line and form, while revisiting 20th century abstraction through a 21st century lens that is informed by scientific theories of chaos and order.

FOREVER STOLEN FUTURES
FOREVER STOLEN FUTURES explores the contradiction of what we protect, exclude, contain, or discard. From afar, the installation looks joyful, even whimsical: a cascade of brightly colored blooms and urgent words unfurling across a chain-link fence. Up close, the illusion unravels—every flower is fabricated from discarded plastic, the very substance choking ecosystems, littering landscapes, and outlasting us all. The words are drawn from youth climate activists, demanding a future worth protecting. Both warning and invitation, FOREVER STOLEN FUTURES asks us to see differently, reckon with the permanence of our waste, and imagine beauty without sacrificing the planet.

Newburgh Lost & Found
"The Newburgh Waterfront has changed drastically over the past 150 years—no section more radically than Front Street between 3rd and what was once 5th Street. This artwork embodies that transformation through a dynamic sculpture that evolves over the course of the exhibition. A model of the site as it exists today—its streets, uses, and built structures—serves as the foundation. Layered over it is a translucent “ghost” model, formed from Sanborn Insurance Maps of 1884, the same year Newburgh first received electricity. As the exhibition progresses, the 1884 structures slowly erode. Each waning building leaves behind a hidden light, glowing more brightly as the form dissolves, remaining as a memory of what once stood. Through this slow transformation, the piece invites reflection on density, change, and collective memory—asking viewers to consider what fades, what remains, and how time reshapes place." The title of the piece is Newburgh Lost & Found. Materials are concrete, glycerin, led lights.

In the fall the days start to fade away
"In fall the days start to fade away" charts the stars overhead in Newburgh at 2:19 pm on September 22nd, the exact moment of the autumnal equinox. This moment marks the planetary shift from summer to fall in the Northern Hemisphere–and shorter, darker days. This sky map is aligned to where you are standing so that you can see the stars made invisible by the Sun, but always all around you. It is printed as a cyanotype, a photographic process which uses the Sun to reveal images in shades of blue, resembling the colors of a daytime sky. This map remains sensitive to sunlight and will fade over the course of the Biennial, mirroring in time the fading daylight as we shift towards winter.
