Greenmeme » Live Within Skin

About

Greenmeme is the vision of artists Freya Bardell and Brian Howe. Together, they have been creating site-specific public artwork since 2005. Qualities of material, context and form begin anew with each project. Their investigations into the history of both the surrounding culture and environment reveals unique ways in which each project can work to raise awareness of these qualities through sculpture, performance and community engagement. Since coming together their work has continued to range from smaller locally-focused commissions to creating projects on a national and international scale.

We're currently working on these projects...

Live Within Skin

A modular vertical garden, water jet cut screens combine CAD manufacturing techniques with plants. These walls can be pro-actively used to address issues of air quality, storm water runoff, thermal insulation, and sound attenuation.

Live Within Skin can serve both interior and exterior applications and may be adapted to most environmental conditions through plant selection, integrated irrigation, and lighting. We encourage the use of rainwater harvesting and catchment systems or other techniques of water reuse when possible.
