Equilibrium is a collaborative site-specific instillation located in the Billings Open Studio, displayed for a one day exhibition Draw[evolve]. The work transports the viewer into an artificial environment, commenting on the complex relationship between the organic and the synthetic. The work is interactive and requires direct viewer engagement. 
The work is created out of a combination of organic and synthetic materials including: mulch, dirt, pinecones, rocks, leaves, pine needles, yarn, plastic, mono filament and wood.  The bottom of the instillations in covered with mulch and other organic matter, as well as balls of yarn.  The ceiling acts as a canopy and is created out of yarn, monofilament, and plastic netting.   This work was created as a way to spark a conversation about pollution and environmental awareness.
