Model of Soo Line Dump explores the speculative, subterranean landscape below the Soo Line Dump Site, a liminal space that buffers an active 230-acre train and trucking facility in Northeast Minneapolis, called Shoreham Yards. Both polluted from over two centuries of waste and runoff and filled with life due to its protected status, the abstracted diorama was constructed using publically accessible records and first-hand observations of the site.
This piece was on view at the Weisman Art Museum as part of The Nature of Shoreham Yards, an installation curated by artist Gudrun Lock featuring the in-process work, research, and explorations of a collective of local thinkers and makers.
