JEANNE K. SIMMONS – ROOTED
2026-01-26At the heart of the exhibition is a site-specific installation composed of foraged moss, branches, grasses, and other natural elements gathered from the Pacific Northwest. For the first time, Simmons translates her outdoor practice into an interior gallery, carrying the moisture, scent, and texture of Washington State’s temperate rainforests into the Arizona desert. The resulting environment evokes a liminal terrain—part ancient, part speculative—where sculptural forms appear as remnants of human presence embedded within a living ecosystem.
