Externalities is a project that involves barn quilts created with highly processed treats.  The large quilts are installed in outdoor locations, intended to interact with the public as signs and markers. 

Ultimately, this Externalities project explores the legacy of the industrial food system and its effect on our bodies and health, on our soil and land, rural traditions and culture.
