 |
 |
 |
| The Spiral Jetty Revised is an ecoart installation dealing with the concept of food production and furthermore aiming at the aesthetic and environmental restoration of an overgrazed piece of land. It is designed to function as a diverse orchard, water harvesting system and soil generator while providing tangible stimuli for all the senses in a space where one can see, breath, smell, walk, rest, eat, contemplate and be inspired on the multiple forms of the inseparable connection between humans and nature. |
| Daphne and Apollo, Athens, Greece 2009-ongoing |
 |
 |
|
| Daphne and Apollo is an ecoart installation in the heart of Athens. It links the old with the contemporary modernism on a conceptual level by bridging the new Acropolis Museum with Sigrou Avenue both landmarks of their own era. The material chosen is Laurus nobilis, an evergreen sclerophyll charged with symbolic values regarding the struggle nature (Daphne) to survive the conquer of the human intellect (Apollo). Material selection is mainly based on Laurus nobilis enhanced abilities to withstand environmental stress as drought, air pollution, heat and wind while purifying the polluted urban air. |
Creek Pool, Athamania, Epirus, Greece 2015-ongoing
|
 |
 |
|
| Creek Natural Pool is a seasonal ecoart installation that seeks to create wildlife and human habitat, optimally while managing natural resources for harvest. It consists of a) a small scale rock gabion, built to decrease water velocity and increase water body, surface and depth b) clay traps to capture material for building uses and c) gravel and sand trails to facilitate access. All materials were sourced on site, actually rearranged by hand to create the work, no machinery used. |
