Installed 2022, Tate Modern lawn, London, UK
“The word ‘dome’ shares a close root with the words for ‘danger’ and ‘home.’ I thought of that entwined history when I constructed a scale replica of the dome of London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral on the lawn outside Tate Modern. I filled the dome with observational drawings of 243 of the 15,000 plant, animal, and fungi species that call London home—the Londoners most at risk of extinction. The process of drawing, which took four intensive months, became a meditation.”
