the field: extended family

The Field will activate The Family Sculputure during the Peoria Light At Play festival, 2026

The Field examines humanity’s relationship to the natural world, exploring how human actions shape and interconnect with the non-human environment. By scaling up microscopic organisms and organic life forms around the family bronze sculpture, the work visualizes the invisible biological networks that sustain all existence across various time periods and our profound interdependence with nature. The digital installation features 3-5 digital sculptures of non-human organic life forms—scaled flowers, Crinoids (Sea Lilies), micro-organisms, and/or other forms inspired by Arizona native plants— positioned around the family bronze sculpture. These enlarged organisms become visible through visitors’ smartphones via AR/WebAR, creating an immersive field of biological forms that shift in scale as visitors move. Interaction with these organisms may trigger visible magnetic lines and/or particle effects, offering a view into the invisible electromagnetic and biochemical field that connects all life forms with their environment. Emerging from the field around the family sculpture are new organic entities of expanded kinship with non-human life. As visitors interact with and walk through these forms, they co-inhabit and co-create a field where human actions reverberate outward, shaping the living systems we depend upon.
