Kuby's works incorporate growing trees and other ecological processes such as entropy and decay, allowing these forces to participate in the sculptural form-making processes. His works are site-specific installations that juxtapose "the built and the unbuilt world" and explore how natural and human-made ecologies can come into closer dialog and inform one another. His works also engage with long arcs of time, as some of his works will continue to change and unfold over decades and centuries. Other artworks bring attention to the issues of climate disruption and sea level rise such as his
Sea Level Clock #1 which he created during a
Rauschenberg Foundation artists residency. As a member of Micro Galleries' Artists Collective, he made one of his projects,
Sea Level 2080, available as an "open source project" for their 2019 Global Day of Creative Action. People could stake out pieces of blue fabric showing where the sea level was anticipated to be in the year 2080, the project had participants from four continents who created 90 works across 27 different countries and states. Kuby's work grows out of his experiences working in landscape architecture, as an Urban Forester for
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and as an Exhibit Designer at the
Bronx Zoo. Almost all his artworks are integrated into specific sites, urban landscapes, parklands or wilderness. His first Portland installation, called Walkwave, is a skateable sidewalk area entry into in Portland's Pier Park Skate Park that leads into the skate park. Kuby has worked with many municipalities. In Seattle he created bird and bat habitats within sculptures in a Seattle city park offering urban habitat opportunities for other species to coexist with humans. He acted as design team artist for a nature playground in Portland's
Westmoreland Park. Kuby has made use of surplus human-made materials placed in natural settings, such as
Breaker which makes use of sandstone from a demolished local high school in
Aberdeen, Washington, rebuilt into an ocean wave shape. Kuby describes his work as "about flow and movement." As part of the Djerassi Resident Artists Program he created
Return, a series of redwood benches in a redwood grove appearing to slowly dismantle. ==Honors and awards==
