With a background including Design\, Collage\, and Found Object Sculpture\, Tim has a keen interest in projects that occupy the space between science and art. He also creates public sculpture with his friend Matt Lively. \nHis p ieces started as daily drawing exercises. Each morning\, Tim draws on a ta blet with his morning coffee\, mostly birds and flowers. Eventually he sta rted adding collage from old maps\, graphs\, charts\, and his own photos. That grew into experiments transferring his digital collages to wood\, the n adding more traditional collage/drawing/painting on top. He did not star t with any plan for these pieces\; at each step he responded to what the i magery was doing until he felt like something interesting was happening. S ome of the collage elements are from old survey maps\, which included blan k areas labeled ‘No Reliable Data Available.’ He thought that was a fi tting title\, as many of the pieces include data suggesting a story\, but not necessarily a reliable one.

Originating in the 1930s with artist Pedro Linares\, who dreamt of strange hybrid bei ngs while ill and later recreated them in papier-mâché\, alebrijes are k nown for their vivid colors\, intricate patterns\, and imaginative designs . While originally not tied to spiritual beliefs\, many contemporary inter pretations associate alebrijes with symbolic meanings\, including represen tations of the four elements: earth\, air\, fire\, and water. For example\ , a creature might have wings for air\, scales for water\, claws for earth \, and flames or bright colors symbolizing fire. Today\, they are celebrat ed as iconic symbols of Mexican art\, appearing in festivals\, museums\, a nd parades. We are excited to bring these magical creatures to the Garden and plan to offer a variety of activities and programs to enhance the gues t experience. This will be the first time the Alebrijes will be in a Botan ical Garden\, and their first time visiting the East Coast!
