My process is informed by exploration of both the natural world and abandoned urban landscapes. The work references transformation in natural phenomena, examines humanity’s place in natural historical context, and notes the marks we leave behind.

Boxed:Shift

My work is about place, drawing on relationships with urban and rural places. Boxed:Shift took shape in response to an urban environment of geometric forms and a palette reflecting the light of water and sky over San Francisco Bay. Relocating in 2023 to New Mexico, the work is transforming in response to the high desert: the plants, soil and stone of the Jemez and Sangre de Cristo mountains, the shifting Rio Grande Rift, ever changing skies, fierce light and seasonal palette. And the undulating surface of adobe, drystone walls, and acequia reflect the human imprint on the land, and how these elements influence our experience of this place.
