Current Projects & Installations
![]() San Francisco Children & Nature
Since 2018 I've been part of the Nature Connection Design team for San Francisco Children & Nature, a cross-sector collaborative of over 30 government agencies, non-profit institutions, and community-based organizations striving to ensure that every child has opportunities to play, learn and grow in nature. One of our projects has been to develop design criteria and collaborate in creating the eight Nature Exploration Areas shown in this interactive map and info page. ![]() Sand Globes Worldwide
Since discovering a technique for making near-perfect spheres from just sand and water in 2000, I've used sand globe making as an avenue to connect people with each other and with coastal areas. Free public beach-cleanup events combining sand globe making with environmental stewardship have been a great success. I've launched an effort to spread sand globe making worldwide using social media and a "how-to" video that has had thousands of views. Read more. ![]() Beach Propellers Worldwide
Making and moving on a beach propeller, on your own or with others, is a joyful and creative way to make ephemeral art, get a work out, meditate, play, dance, embody mathematics and physics, and connect with coastal areas and other people. I call this shape a beach propeller to describe the shape and also to evoke the feeling of propulsion that comes when you move on one. I hope you'll join in!
