Artist Statement

Primarily working in drawing and glass, my practice explores historical and contemporary relationships between humans and nature and how those relationships connect to community and individual sovereignty today. I’m interested in the complex interactions our bodies have with current plant/land/food systems and the overall compromises that feel expected of a person in order to operate within society. My work and research investigates various dimensions of these compromises as they relate to individual and community health, identity, and ethics.

My work is deeply rooted in exploring how we as individuals relate to ourselves, nature, and our personal histories. I am curious how our exploration of these topics impacts the way we interact with the world around us and how the themes that emerge can make space for dialogue and new ideas.
