“camino de amor perdido” is an in situ installation created in rural connecticut in 2008. small hand-built dwellings were installed in trees and on sawn saplings, along a meandering path cut through the forest. the structures were then burned in ritual, the remains left to be overtaken by nature and time. the trail leads to a larger, meditative dwelling, or a final resting place at the end of the journey. with a vision and next to no plan, this dwelling came together piece by found piece, relying on site-specific materials and organic proliferation to find its place on the path. it is a living reliquary embodying the seeds of family, love, loss and hope.
