Artist Statement

My practice responds to the unfolding absences of the climate crisis. After years working as a designer in the Bay Area tech industry, I returned to artmaking driven by an ecological urgency that simply didn't exist in the same way twenty years ago. My work is both a requiem and an act of resistance.

I make work that cultivates attentive, entangled relationships with place, materials, and the more-than-human world — inviting viewers to slow down, listen, and enter into relationship with the living systems they inhabit. Across projects, I return to gestures of repair, entanglement, listening, and tending as both material and ethical practices. Working with cyanotypes, painting, sculpture, and installation, I move between direct encounters with specific landscapes and the studio, where high-tech tools meet biodegradable, handmade materials.

My work does not seek to instruct or persuade. It gently unsettles fixed boundaries — between self and landscape, human and nonhuman, object and process — and invites viewers to inhabit the flow of phenomena rather than the discreteness of things. For me, beauty, awe, and wonder inspire action. What stories does the land tell? How do we grow reciprocity? How might we live on a changing planet?
