About
The Garden ARt Project
An Augmented Reality project that connects us with our local ethnobotanical stories, through the lens of environmental and cultural impact.
“The gARden” project consists of Augmented Reality sites for Adelanto, Joshua Tree, Jurupa Valley, Ontario, and San Bernardino, California, that engage viewers in learning about our local environment and Indigenous Communities. The project partners with Maara'yam (Serrano), also known as the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, to activate public spaces with stories and images of plants with significant cultural meaning. Through this digital seed bank, community ties are strengthened for our shared future.
The project honors and celebrates the ongoing stewardship of Indigenous communities, and seeks to facilitate community engagement that centers the primary source experiences, histories, and stories generated within Indigenous Communities.

Shelby Lindsley, Assistant Artist
https://www.shelbylorrainelindsley.com
Shelby Lorraine Lindsley (b. 2000, they/she) is a queer, Mexican-American artist currently living and working in Los Angeles, CA. Their art explores the idea of embodiment through land/space, relationships/community, memory/experience, and identity. They use a variety of mediums, but emphasize the use of crochet and archival family photography in their work. They received their B.A. in Studio Art from the University of La Verne in 2022 and graduated summa cum laude and with Departmental Honors. She received an MFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 2024.
Shelby Lorraine Lindsley grounds their work within conceptual art, using her artwork to explore ideas of embodiment. In their practice, Lindsley breaks embodiment into four categories: land/space, relationships/community, memory/experience, and identity.
Lindsley's art practice is fluid, due to revolving around different interpretations and states of mind based on her lived experiences. Their practice involves healing from trauma, demonstrating resilience and providing a space for growth and affirmation. Previously, their work revolved around analyzing alternative versions of these lived events through a third, out-of-body perspective, causing them to develop these different lifetimes based on decisions made in the past and present. Currently, her work is exploring the ideas of bodily relation to land and memory, questioning what the idea of a “home” truly is.
Lindsley is an interdisciplinary artist, utilizing mediums ranging from video art, installations, found items, text, and painting. They are not afraid to incorporate ideas, images, and text from others into her artwork to engage with others and echo their voices. The constant features within her work is the use of crochet and archival photographs from their family. These two materials provide her work the intimacy of craft tradition and the history of family lineage.

Joaquin Stacey Calle, Assistant Artist:
https://joaquinstaceycalle.com/
Joaquín Stacey-Calle (he/him/they, b.2000, Quito, Ecuador) is an interdisciplinary artist working with painting, performance, installation, microbes, photography, and food. He graduated with a BFA from Florida International University in 2022 and received his MFA from Otis College of Art and Design (CA) in 2024. Stacey-Calle develops conversations around history, identity, memory, representational and landscape painting, daily rituals, Western ontology, and the human condition. He is interested in the digestion and fermentation of his quotidian surroundings and the cultural productions he has consumed throughout his life. Like his understanding of his diasporic self, his work is rooted in memories of his home and life in Ecuador, Miami, and Los Angeles and then tethered to a new experience of unfixed imagery and materiality that remains ever-changing. Lately, he has been exploring the importance of forgetting, confusion, and ignorance concerning the definition of thought. He has exhibited throughout Miami and LA, in places like Charlie James Gallery, Goodmother Gallery, The Proxy Gallery, Homework Gallery, The Laundromat Art Space, Bernice Steinbaum Gallery, Pinecrest Gardens Gallery, Ateliê Alê (São Paulo), and the Ecuadoran Consulate in Miami. Stacey-Calle was part of the 2022 & 2023 Summer Open, a residency hosted by The Bakehouse Art Complex in Miami.
