In Gronsdahl’s work titled C.R.E.A.M.(Collection and Reuse of Environmental and Available Means), his approach to perseverance and care playfully comes to the fore through both concepts and materials. Gronsdahl’s mobile rain and sun-powered coffee stand has been partly repurposed from elements of previous works and suggests a kind of low-impact conviviality.

“Storm clouds buttress themselves against windward slopes, releasing precipitation before dissipating over summits and across leeward landscapes. The western shores of Vancouver Island and the mainland become saturated, while unburdened clouds scatter lightly and interact with other weather patterns over the island’s eastern coastline. Here on Snuneymuxw territory, this effect manifests in a mix of sunshine, periodic showers, and an abundance of rainbows.”
