Hope Sandrow founded open air studio spacetime in 2007. Sandrow's multidisciplinary art practice is a ‘way’ of life; real engagements with the world around her inform and direct her artistic vision.  Her work is expressed in a range of media including, 2D, video, mixed media, installation, sculpture, new media, performance, and social practice manifested in her artist-in-residence interdisciplinary project open-air studio Shinnecock Hills spacetime, sited on ancestral lands. A “home” site (2006) for creating art and engaging in timely matters through the lens of history-making and remaking itself within the continuum of space and time. A laboratory for experimentation during critical planetary changes in our climate, society, and culture. As the artist-in-residence, Sandrow’s focus is to present the natural history of everyday life while regenerating discourse on the subjects of nature and art. Issues of identity, gender, science, climate, and the politics of power and myth are also at play, representing a sustainable collaboration with the “more-than-human realm” reflecting the inter-relationships of living organisms to one another and their physical environment. Her interdisciplinary art installation illustrates the central premise of Michael Pollan’s seminal book The Botany of Desire.
