Jackie Brookner Visit

 Jackie Brookner collaborates with ecologists, design professionals, communities, and policy makers to create water remediation systems for wetlands, rivers, streams, and stormwater runoff that are works of public art. Her biosculptures are evocative, plant-based living systems that clean polluted water and integrate ecological revitalization with the metaphoric and aesthethic qualities of sculpture. Brookner envisions and creates a world where human and other than human systems exist in mutually beneficial relationships. Her recent projects include Laughing Brook in Salway Park in Cincinnati, part of the Millcreek Restoration Project. She is a contributing author to "Urban Rain: Stormwater as Resource" and a former teaching fellow at Harvard University.
