JR’s work reimagines basic life systems and proposes alternative, occasionally transgressive options for how to eat, urinate/defecate, sleep, live, and die. Among the proposals is a bed made of 10 individually-molded wooden splints that comfortably distributes her body weight on a hard surface, a diet designed to transform urine into a more ideal nutrient solution for plants (accompanied by a urine processor, hydroponic garden, and bed), a surplus, formaldehyde-laden FEMA trailer converted into a model of sustainable disaster response, and a burial suit infused with mushroom mycelia and bacteria that facilitates the decomposition of the body, cleans toxins, and helps plants grow. For each work, JR strategically and agnostically deploys methodologies from disparate disciplines after undertaking new training or collaborating with experts. As such, although art may appear to be an afterthought, it is an umbrella for projects that sometimes appear to be more aligned with business, permaculture, fashion, architecture, science, psychology, federal disaster recovery, design thinking, social activism, medicine/forensics, engineering, etc.
