Ben Silva is a second year graduate student at MassArt working in sculpture.  Self proclaimed “non-specialist, and proud of it” Ben’s works attempt to break down the separation of the artist’s work and life, and more closely the artists spiritual and material reality; a social art practice based on the tenets of holism.  His DIY projects vary from rooftop gardening,  medicinal plant foraging, urban shamanism, hydroponic food machines, sprouting and live foods, kitchen gardening, food not lawns; all of which he refers to as urban homesteading.  Also an accomplished object maker, his work can be seen throughout New England, including the Boston convention center.  He is currently working to make the perfect pancake.
