ARTIST STATEMENT: My work seeks to parse the fused and knotted qualities of the current global environmental crisis as examined through objects, landscapes, and the relationships between bodies and architectures. Using sometimes insubstantial materials to depict what seems simultaneously indestructible and delicate, my work explores the tension between permanence and transience, growth and decay, and asks essential questions about how the functions of objects and space inform, mirror, and tend to the human condit.
