The Ecogeoglyphic Observatory (fondly referred to as the EGG) is a project that explores the curious dynamics of present-day industrial development in the region surrounding Boise, and the effects that this process has over the plants, animals, water, stone, soil and people who exist here.

The Ecogeoglyphic Observatory
Teal Gardner

The Ecogeoglyphic Observatory will be in process through March 2023. The participatory project calls on the involvement of members of the community to act as 'field workers' -those interested in exploring the effects of development in the Boise Valley through weekly gatherings (OPEN EGG), excursions (Field Studies), and in-house contributions at the EGG studio, located in the courtyard at MING Studios.

But why focus on Development at all? 
''Perhaps I am so compelled because I love this place, all the way down. I feel sensitive to the dirt, the rocks, the plants, the animals here, and I want to think of them as being inherently valuable. I also don’t want to assume that the ways Development scours across the land is inevitable. I see the logic of Development as the language of our time, written on the earth. I wonder what effects present day choices are having over the long-term viability of this place as a home.'' -Teal Gardner
