Artist Brian Burkhardt's Biodome Wows in Wynwood

Burkhardt says that conveying a sense of the symbiotic relationship between man and nature in a world we are threatening to destroy is what keeps him motivated to create during these economically grim times.

"As a farmer or as an artist, you are always worried about the market," he rues. "To me, farming is like the art world in many ways. Right now I'm looking at my dome as a song with the sample of everything I've ever done inside it as the notes."

A shopping cart Burkhardt found in Wynwood spills over with a tangled metal tree.
