Fresh cut locust and red oak wood donated by Ian Snider of Mountain Works Sustainable Development

Commissioned by Climate Stories Collaborative at Appalachian State

This work is part of the project:

“What do I need to know for the planet to thrive?” This question animates “Signs, Wonders, Blunders,” an installation of 13 signposts, each with three multi-directional signs, located at interesting and suggestive locations on campus. The signposts use book titles and common phrases to create a set of playful proposals for new ways of understanding knowledge production and reception. Many of the book titles are drawn from some of the most influential works of contemporary ecological thought, by thinkers like Donna Haraway, Timothy Morton, Eduardo Kohn, Amitav Ghosh, and Jane Bennet. Others invoke concepts or topics closely associated with climate literacy and advocacy. Yet others allude to contemporary popular culture.
