Art Installation at the Armstrong House Museum in Rushville, Nebraska.
Archive of Land is a site-specific ceramic installation inspired by the Nebraska Sandhills, where wild grasses are sustained by the Ogallala Aquifer. Installed in the historic kitchen of the Armstrong House Museum, the work transforms the domestic space into a prairie, bringing together histories of land, labor, and nourishment. Created through research across the Sandhills, the installation reflects on memory, belonging, and the connections between landscape and home. Each ceramic grass was hand built and glazed with wild clay gathered from the Sandhills, allowing the land itself to become part of the work.
