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.

Still Here

Still Here honors trees in their fundamental beauty: limbs bare, trunks exposed. Each is an exploration and an homage, incorporating text and symbols to embody the history and meaning of a life. Working from photographs, memory and an attachment to each subject, these are portraits of individuals in later stages of life and after death. Still Here refers to their stillness, and to their lasting presence as impression or memory.
