Statement

Statement

My work explores the delicate balance and intricate beauty found in our world. By observing and capturing these elements I aim to convey the balance I feel of awe – inspiring power and fragility.

 

I aim to create space for contemplation, introspection and connection by engaging viewers in a dialogue about our relationship with our home and find a deeper understanding of our place within the ecosystems that sustain us.

 

My creative process includes many media to best express the ideas I am working with, often using natural forces and biotic and abiotic materials to assist me  including , flowing water, snow, wind, breath, plants, and muds to make artworks grounded in significant times and places.
