Statement
The work I make is a visual record of my human attempt to understand the universe. Philosophical and scientific questions about the nature of reality and impermanence play a key role in all that I create. I am intrigued by the unseen and subterranean and what happens at the subatomic level. The natural world, specifically the plant world, is a constant source of inspiration for my work. It teaches me about balance, seasonality, courage and endurance, and the interdependence of all things.
This Place is a Dream
Inspired by the poetry of Rumi, my new series, This Place is a Dream, reflects on the transient and illusory nature of the physical world. Drawing from my curiosities about Gestalt theory, quantum physics, and Buddhist philosophy, I create imagined landscapes using photography, paint and paper.
A key element of the work is the cyanotype photographic process, which captures multiple layers of meaning—place, time, atmosphere, object, and shadow—within a single image. I gather plants from my garden at the end of each season to create the cyanotype compositions, and puzzle together these fragmented images into a cohesive whole. The final pieces emerge as landscapes of intricate plant patterns, exploring the interplay of positive and negative space, presence and absence, form and formlessness.
