Through discarded and synthetic materials, I investigate the fragility and flux of the landscape, the violence of extraction and pollution, and the possibility of artificial ecosystems. I’m interested in the collision of meaning that occurs when a utilitarian object takes on symbolic form: how a new symbolic language might help us see common materials differently. Each piece emerges from an illogical logic of metaphor, existing at the threshold between a past in which its parts were ordinary and a present where they coalesce into a charged amalgamation. Like makeshift poems, these works invite viewers to reconsider their relationship to the natural world, challenging the cultural categories that distance us from it and reflecting our connections and responsibilities to something larger than ourselves.
