Planters Trade was a direct response to the communities that I am a part of and what can be created within them.  The show itself was an exchange of planters. I reached out to artists within my communities and invited them to trade a planter they made with a planter I made. The weekly trades continued throughout the duration of the show. As the trades grew the installation transformed from a singular voice to many, depicting the communities that surround us and helps develop who we are.

Below depicts the trades; the planter I made on the left paired with my fellow artist’s planter on the right.
