Bayou Entanglements (2019) was presented at Site Gallery as part of Houston Sculpture Month at the Silos on Sawyer Yards, in the fall of 2019. The installation was a complex of a fabricated pond-version of the Houston’s bayous, stocked with live plants and aquatic animals and wall projections of under-water bayou videos views. Bayou Entanglements included daily performative, lecture-conversations about the nature of the bayou and presentations of the Janitor Fish living in the pond installation.

 Bayou Entanglements presented a philosophical proposition: what is considered “invasive” and “non-native” wildlife. What is “Indigenous” about non-native plants and animals from Houston's bayous. The performance and installation engaged in a public conversation over our nomenclature and regard for the origins local wildlife. I argue, that the lexicons/vernacular we use to describe flora and fauna is more indicative of how we as humans describing ourselves, which displays our attitudes and behaviors to our fellow humans, rather than to the “natural world”.
