Artist Statement

I work between disciplines of science, ecopsychology, history, and social practice with the aim of understanding how human beings interact with, respond to, and alter their natural environment. My work incorporates layers of meaning and speaks through carefully chosen symbolic imagery, materials, mediums, and locations.

 

With a focus on the natural world and the catastrophic changes that are happening globally, part of my goal as an artist is to reframe one’s awareness. This can mean to remind the viewer of the natural world through a sense of investigation, awe, and wonder. It can also gently probe the knee-jerk response of consumerism, allowing the viewer to question what choices are made for them, and what different choices they can possibly make. My work often holds these two truths simultaneously because the monumentally abstract concepts, patterns, systems, and obstacles facing individuals and societies require this strong balance.
