Olivia Kaufman-Rovira

Olivia Kaufman-Rovira created this stunning installation in the Carriage House during her summer residency. It’s made of discarded plastic water bottles, wheat grass and a complex pvc watering system she built herself. Olivia spent the first two weeks of her residency literally watching the grass grow! Some may see her huge chandeliers as reminders of our wasteful ways and our negative impact on the environment–but Olivia has a more optimistic vision. She sees her work as evidence that humans can find solutions to any problem–beautiful solutions–and make them pretty amazing too. Visit her web site to learn more about her.
