Artist Talk with David Brooks

David Brooks' work considers the relationship between the individual and the built and natural environment. His work investigates how cultural concerns cannot be divorced from the natural world, while also questioning the terms under which nature is perceived and utilized. For “Studs and Bycatch” Brooks creates a sculpture in Miami's Blue Lagoon next to the 836 expressway celebrating Florida wildlife on a pontoon boat that will remain anchored in the lake for several weeks.
