mother\nature layers dissonant soundscapes: an audio recording captured by ocean expert Annie Crawley of a humpback whale mother and her baby; and Lullabye (2023), a modified version of the children's nursery song, Rock-a-Bye Baby. Already ominous in its message ("...when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall...), the classic lullaby becomes even more haunting when elongated to 10 minutes—devolving from its familiar melody into guttural, monstrous noises.

This work alludes to the precarious state of our planet and the narrowing window of time we have to effect changes that will allow future generations to thrive. Visitors to the installation are encouraged to take in their built and natural surroundings, absorbing the sound of mother\nature as it inevitably comes into contact with other ambient noises—trees, traffic, birds, helicopters, and so forth.
